The 2019 Saint-Aubin Le Banc is very promising, delivering aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and wheat toast. Medium-bodied, bright and incisive, it's racy and precise, with fine depth at the core. Racked to tank not long before my visit for bottling early in the new year, I suspect it will fill out a little as it finishes its élevage. This is one of the easier-to-find wines in the range, and it represents a fine introduction to the house style—and the racy wines of Saint-Aubin.

The 2018 Saint-Aubin Le Banc wafts from the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp Anjou pear, green apples and a touch of smoky reduction. Medium to full-bodied, layered and nicely concentrated, it's ample and nicely concentrated, with tangy acids and a penetrating, saline finish. This has turned out very well indeed.

The 2017 Saint-Aubin Le Banc offers up aromas of green orchard fruit, citrus oil and almond paste, followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegantly glossy palate with good depth at the core, tangy acids and a chalky finish. It's a great introduction to Pierre-Yves Colin's style.

The 2016 Saint-Aubin Le Banc is another pretty wine from Pierre-Yves Colin, exhibiting expressive aromas of white flowers, tangerine oil and crisp apple. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, pure and glossy, with attractive detail and delineation. Structurally delicate and open-knit, this is a wine to broach while the 2015 is maturing in the cellar.

Pierre-Yves Colin's 2015 Saint-Aubin Le Banc is really starting to show well, offering up a lovely bouquet of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, it's beautifully vibrant even in this warm vintage, with chalky structuring extract, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. On release, this represented terrific value and I'm happy to have the better part of a case left in my cellar.
