Nestled between Chassagne and Puligny...
St. Aubin is the village nestled in the valley that separates Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The premier cru vineyards are set along the slopes that connect to each of the more famous villages. This wine has an aromatic Chardonnay nose with floral, spice, and oak notes, and is richly textured with spice, very good fruit and a mineral component that gives it big mouthfeel and length for the money. A veritable high class Burgundy for the price of an average American Chardonnay.
Pierre André du Chateau de Corton André
The Maison Pierre André was created in 1923 based on the love of founder Pierre André’s love of the vine. The Château de Corton was then rebaptized when purchased in 1927 as the ‘Château de Corton-André’. Today, the illustrious manor now shelters the wines underground and houses the offices of the business.This domaine is at the heart of many famous ‘climats’ in Burgundy, which covers over 50 hectares or 125 acres. The maison is also the largest purchaser of barrels at the Hospice de Beaune auctions, because they are able to both oversee the élèvage, bottling and labeling for private customers around the world.
Maison Pierre André has created a wide selection of wines made from grapes purchased from owner-growers that work in harmony with Pierre André to provide excellent quality wines. These owner-growers have put their confidence in the winemakers at Pierre André to vinify their harvests and market the wines.
