Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Vincent Girardin St Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière 2022 presents a captivating bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear, and delicate citrus zest, layered with nuances of hazelnut and wet stone. The palate is elegantly textured, offering a harmonious interplay between crisp acidity and creamy minerality, culminating in a long, nuanced finish with lingering notes of lemon curd and toasted almond. This wine’s purity and complexity make it an excellent match for pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with tarragon, or a classic French Comté cheese, where its lively acidity and mineral backbone beautifully enhance rich, savory dishes.
