CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru, a mix of 10- and 80-year-old vines, is elegant on the nose and quite refined. Touches of orchard fruit and white peach and just a hint of marzipan in the background that betrays the warm summer. The palate is well-balanced, very saline, taut and focused. Then, it clams down on the finish and orders you to come back in 3-4 years to see if it's ready for business.

Marine, savoury nose with apricot fruit beneath. Lovely salinity on the palate, resembling something like top Muscadet in some ways. On the palate, there's subtle matchstick character, tart apple fruit and a classic, moderately lengthy mineral flavour on the finish. (RH)
