Lou Dumont Saint-Aubin 2022

Lou Dumont Saint-Aubin 2022

Lou Dumont Saint-Aubin 2022 is a white Burgundy from the Saint-Aubin appellation in Côte de Beaune. Maison Lou Dumont was founded in 2000 by Japanese winemaker Koji Nakada and Korean-born Jae Hwa Park, known for small-scale, terroir-focused Burgundy with a low-intervention approach.

Vinification & Style
Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine reflects Saint-Aubin’s cool-climate style: fresh citrus fruit, stony minerality and lively acidity, balanced by discreet oak texture. The 2022 vintage was warm and generous in Burgundy, giving ripe fruit and roundness while Saint-Aubin’s higher-elevation vineyards retained freshness and definition.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale gold with light green reflections.
Nose: White peach, lemon zest, pear, white flowers, flint, hazelnut and a subtle touch of vanilla.
Palate: Medium-bodied and fresh, showing citrus, orchard fruit, lightly grilled nuts and saline minerality. The texture is rounded but not heavy, supported by bright acidity and a fine chalky line.
Finish: Clean and persistent, with lemon, stone fruit, toasted hazelnut and mineral notes.

Reviews
Saint-Aubin is widely regarded as a source of elegant, mineral-driven whites that can offer strong value alongside Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Serving & Pairing
Decanting: No decanting required; open 10–15 minutes before serving if possible.

Food pairing: Oysters, grilled scallops, steamed fish, butter-poached lobster, sushi, sashimi, roast chicken, creamy pasta, mushroom dishes and Comté cheese.

Drinking Window
