The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes mingles aromas of cherries and red berries with hints of warm spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with melting tannins and a chalky finish, it's a pretty, easy-drinking red that has been favored by this warm vintage.

Aromas of sweet red berries, orange rind and spices introduce the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine built around succulent acids and fine, chalky tannins. This is promising.

An appealing bouquet of red berries, peonies and orange rind prefaces Colin's 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent wine that's supple, charming and expressive.

The 2016 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is now labelled as such, since the other vineyards that used to be blended into this premier cru were pulled up last year. It has a very transparent bouquet with lifted red cherry and bergamot scents, a subtle cold stone note emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This feels supple in the mouth, quite fleshy with an understated but winsome finish that demonstrates admirable length. Very fine.
