The 2016 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is now labelled as such, since the other vineyards that used to be blended into this premier cru were pulled up last year. It has a very transparent bouquet with lifted red cherry and bergamot scents, a subtle cold stone note emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This feels supple in the mouth, quite fleshy with an understated but winsome finish that demonstrates admirable length. Very fine.
