Introduction:
The 2022 Domaine Patrick Miolane Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Charmois is a refined and mineral-driven white Burgundy that beautifully expresses the terroir of Saint-Aubin. With its vibrant acidity, layered texture, and well-integrated oak, this Chardonnay delivers both freshness and depth, making it an excellent candidate for both early enjoyment and cellaring.

Terrior:
Situated on the eastern slopes of Saint-Aubin, Les Charmois benefits from limestone-rich soils and a slightly cooler microclimate compared to neighboring Puligny-Montrachet. This combination enhances the wine’s minerality and crisp acidity, while the sun exposure ensures full ripeness, resulting in a Chardonnay with both tension and richness.

Appearance:
Pale gold with bright green reflections, showcasing freshness and vibrancy.

Nose:
Highly expressive, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with floral hints of acacia and subtle notes of wet stone and hazelnut. A touch of vanilla and toasted almond from oak aging adds depth without overpowering the wine’s purity.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel. The bright acidity balances flavors of ripe citrus, pear, and crushed stone minerality, while a delicate creaminess from lees aging provides complexity. The oak influence is subtle, offering hints of spice and toasted brioche without overshadowing the fruit and mineral core.

Finish:
Long and refined, with lingering citrus, saline minerality, and a touch of toasted nuts. The wine’s freshness and elegance leave a lasting impression.

Overall Impression:
A precise and well-balanced premier cru Saint-Aubin that offers both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential. While already drinking beautifully, it will continue to develop greater complexity over the next 8–12 years. Perfect for pairing with seared scallops, roasted poultry, or creamy risottos.
