2021 Armand Heitz Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Murgers des Dents de Chien" Blanc is a precise and mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of the most respected high-altitude Premier Cru sites bordering Montrachet. The nose is elegant and finely detailed, showing lemon zest, green apple and white peach, layered with white flowers, crushed stone and a distinct flinty minerality. There is a cool, lifted aromatic profile that reflects the limestone soils and the fresher 2021 vintage.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "smart Chassagne-Montrachet alternative". It delivers the same minerality, structure and precision, but often at a more approachable price point. The 2021 vintage is particularly attractive for customers who prefer fresh, elegant and less oaky Burgundy styles. Perfect for those who enjoy Chablis or Puligny-Montrachet, but want a bit more depth. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled fish or light creamy dishes, and will drink well now or evolve over the next 8–12+ years.
