The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Combes comes from a vineyard that did not suffer the dryness during the season according to Pierre-Yves Colin. It has an enticing bouquet with lively citrus fruit, orange rind and dandelion scents, well defined and focused. The palate is fresh and lively on the entry. This Les Combes offers superb mineral tension, great depth in the mouth with a precise and vibrant, lightly spiced finish. This is a superb Saint-Aubin from Pierre-Yves.

The 2014 Saint Aubin 1er Cru les Combes has a rounded and sensual bouquet like the 2014 Le Banc, peach skin and pear notes developing in the glass with just a hint of almond. The palate is very well balanced with the entry with good weight in the mouth. There is a nice malic edge to this Saint Aubin that counterbalances the richness towards the lightly honeyed finish. Drink over the next 5-8 years.

The 2013 Saint Aubin les Combes has another very expressive bouquet with hints of mango and overripe Satsumas combining nicely with the mineral component. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite refined, although it just eases off a little prematurely on the tapered finish. Otherwise I envisage this slipping down the throat with ease.
