2021 Domaine Hugh Liddell Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Perrières France

GW says: Tucked just behind Puligny and Chassagne, Saint-Aubin is Burgundy’s best-kept secret—though Hugh Liddell’s Les Perrières may blow the cover clean off. Grown on rocky, high-altitude slopes, the wine struts in with a mineral core and the cool poise of a Savile Row suit.  It is light and expressive, opening with citrus and flint, moves like a ballerina on lemon-scented air, and finishes long enough to outlast your dinner party. Think of it as Puligny’s rebellious younger cousin—fresher, feistier, and frankly, more fun at parties.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Appearance: Pale lemon

Aroma: Elegant, crushed rocks, citrus zest, white peach

Palate: Tense and vibrant—lime, wet stone, and just enough creaminess to make it dangerous.
