Paul Pillot Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Charmois 2020 AOC 0.75l

Paul Pillot Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Charmois 2020 AOC 0.75l is a white wine born in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, in the precise setting of Saint-Aubin, where the family tradition of the Pillot house meets an exceptional terroir to offer an elegant and authentic interpretation of the Premier Cru Les Charmois vineyard. Paul Pillot's history is intertwined with decades of meticulous vineyard care, careful supply chain management, and a philosophy based on the balance between human labor and respect for the terroir, with a focus on the purity of the fruit and the clear expression of the varying climatic conditions of each season. In the cellar, the approach is sober yet thoughtful: manual harvesting, rigorous grape selection, and a management of the aging process that prioritizes precision over the fruit rather than the spectacularity of artifice, to maintain the natural tension between freshness and aromatic density typical of the Les Charmois climate. The distinctive character of this wine lies precisely in its terroir: limestone soils interspersed with veins of marl impart a refined minerality to the wine, a structure that supports a defined flavor profile and an elegant progression throughout the sip, with a luminous luminosity of aromas. The nose reveals clean notes of ripe citrus, lemon zest, white apple, and a delicate floral nuance, guided by a crystalline minerality reminiscent of flint and local geological bricks. On the palate, a savory and silky texture unfolds, with controlled volatility and a persistence that leads to a long, clean, and persistent finish, capable of evolving with air and time without losing vitality. Within this range, the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Charmois 2020 stands as a reliable and refined interpreter of the terroir, offering a wine capable of pairing with seafood appetizers, velvety soups, and delicate fish dishes, as well as soft cheeses. Without being overly ostentatious, it reveals a complex personality ready to mature in the bottle. It is a choice that speaks of terroir, patience and a quality that favours substance over grandeur, in line with STELT's positioning.
