    Product Description

    From the importer: Les Castets is one of the smaller Premier Cru vineyards that fringes on the western border, past the town of Saint-Aubin. It’s prized for its steep slope and made by the best producers in the appellation. The vineyard is a recent acquisition, further validating the family’s dominance of terroir on their home turf. Les Castets has linear speed of white peach and yellow apple framed by the plush mineral of 2017. 10 months in oak, one-time stirring of the lees.

    Vinous: 90-92 points

    “The 2017 Saint-Aubin les Castet 1er Cru has a delightful, quite engaging bouquet with hints of yellow flower and cockle shells, a light estuarine scent gradually unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh crisp citrus fruit on the entry, quite Puligny-like in style with a tang of quince and marmalade perking up the poised finish. I like the energy and tension here - good potential. (DIAM closure)” – Neal Martin

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 90 points

    “The 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Castets is also open and expressive, bursting with aromas of white flowers, fresh pear and hazelnuts. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, charming and giving, with lively acids and a precise, chalky finish. This is another of Colin's 2017s that's drinking well straight out of the gates.” – William Kelly
