Jean-Claude Boisset Saint Aubin Sur Gamay 2017

Just to be confusing, there is a sector of Saint-Aubin called Gamay. In fact it is planted with Chardonnay and produces accessible wine like this. Dominated by wood aging at this stage, this wine is ripe with yellow fruits that are balanced by the intense acidity. It is still young but will be delicious.

Sur Gamay sits on the Montagne du Ban and wines from this lieu-dit are very close in quality to a Puligny or a Chassagne. Over 160 acres are classified as premier cru.
