Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 20
The 2014 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité is flat-out gorgeous. I am not a huge fan of decanting red wines, but increasingly I find it really helps whites to blossom. That is certainly the case here. The Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité, from a high-density plot right behind the winery, is a rich, intensely phenolic, structured white dominated by earthy, mineral notes more than the overt fruit that is often found in Saint-Aubins. I love its power and resonance, both of which make it ideal for this menu. What a wine.
