POMMARD 1er Cru Rugiens Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2016
(from a .65 ha holding located in both Bas and Hauts that is apportioned roughly 50/50). A moderately reduced nose definitely needs air so if you’re going to try a bottle in the near-term, do aerate it well. The middle weight plus flavors possess better density and richness than the 2017 version along with equally evident minerality on the youthfully austere finish that flashes a touch of asperity but not really overt dryness. It’s not clear if this will eventually round out as I suspect that it will always have a mild edge to it.
SAINT AUBIN 1er Cru 'Oratorium de Saint Aubin' Domaine Joseph Colin 2021
(OSA is an ancient name for St. Aubin; the blend is composed by four 1ers). A markedly restrained if pretty nose grudgingly offers up its array of citrus, floral and mineral reduction notes. The racy and very sleek medium-bodied flavors exude a bracing salinity on the firm, compact and linear finish. This is notably austere and a bit lean though my sense is that this will flesh out with bottle age. With that said, I would advise buying this only if you have the intent to cellar it.
