"The steep slopes of this premier cru rise above the village of Gamay and face south and slightly west. The central portion, where Colin farmed a third of a hectare, can also be called En Monceau. Colin calls the wine a mix of La Chatenière and En Remilly. The wine has a relatively deep lemon-yellow hue and ripe aromas of green apple and pear with a hint of white flowers. The texture is lively and bright, yet there is enough substance to give the wine a pleasantly lingering finish—superb." 

Burghound, 89-92 Points 

"Here there is enough reduction to blur everything but a hint of citrus character. The mouthfeel of the vibrant and delicious medium-bodied flavors is sleek, even polished, while delivering excellent length on the rich, dry and balanced finale. This could use better depth but more should almost certainly develop with bottle age." 

Wine Advocate, 89-91 Points 

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is especially good this year, delivering aromas of waxy citrus, confit orange, iodine and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's impressively complete, with a penetrating, saline finish." 

Vinous, 89-91 Points 

"The 2021 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru has a much more open and airy bouquet with crushed rock and struck flint unfurling in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh with crisp acidity, a little more reduced than other crus but with a welcome spiciness that prolongs the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle."
