Suggestion from December 01 2021
Wine: 2010 St. Aubin "Derrière Chez Edouard" 1er
Producer: Domaine Hubert Lamy
Comment: This is even more elegant than the Macherelles with its restrained but airy and ultra-pure nose of citrus, pear and white flower aromas that enjoy added breadth in the form of a discreet mineral reduction note. There is good volume and energy to the opulent and seductively textured flavors that nonetheless retain a fine sense of cut and precision on the wonderfully intense and impressively long finish. This can't match the Macherelles for sheer depth or power but this is certainly very pretty.
