THE WINE

The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots from Domaine Moingeon is an elegant and finely detailed Chardonnay that highlights the purity and mineral precision of this highly regarded Premier Cru vineyard. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear, and acacia blossom are complemented by subtle notes of toasted hazelnut and wet stone.
