Philippe de Hardi Saint-Aubin “En Vesveau”

In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, between Chassagne and Puligny, in the immediate vicinity of Montrachet, Saint-Aubin is a winegrowing village in the south of the Côte de Beaune. White clay soil with a lot of limestone for the white wines; soils with more brown clay for the reds. The slopes are sometimes steep, facing east or southeast.

The 2022 vintage was the fruit of an intense year weather-wise, with frost, heatwaves and drought. Production volumes, saved by a slightly later budburst which protected the buds from frost, could have been impacted by the four summer heatwaves and a widespread shortage of water. But the vines were able to draw on their own resources as well as those of the terroir. This connection between the vines and their environment has also brought a beautiful balance to the wines which, despite the very hot conditions of that year, have a great deal of subtlety, both on the nose and on the palate.
