2022 St Aubin, 'Champ Tirant', Domaine Gerard Thomas, Burgundy, France

Situated in the valley next over from Meursault, Gerard Thomas is one of the great new generations of small growers in Burgundy. Here, nectarine, honey and butterscotch notes leap forth with a notably lifted vibrancy and zing. Taut, crisp and steely on the palate; juicy, pure, uncluttered, offering layers of crisp, ripe orange and lemon citrus flavours, wrapped in vanilla cream. Invigorating, gratifying.
