DOMAINE SYLVAIN LANGOUREAU
In the past several years, Saint-Aubin has been moving out of the shadows and into the spotlight, becoming known as a region that supplies wines of great purity, precision, and value. And why not? The slopes here are quite steep, and the vines sit at high elevation, so year-round temperatures in the vineyards are generally lower than in other parts of the region. Their village- and Premier Cru-level wines show a luscious medley of stone fruit, floral, and citrus aromatics with a tinge of oak, and uplifting acidity. Sylvain and Nathalie Langoureau have represented the region beautifully with their well-crafted Chardonnay.
