The 2022 Saint-Aubin Sur Gamay 1er Cru underwent replanting and was hitherto sold to négociant; this is the first vintage worth bottling separately. It has a well-defined bouquet with blackcurrant leaf and citrus lemon/lime aromas. Perhaps not quite as complex as the preceding Champ Tirant. The palate is balanced with a satisfying strictness and fine weight, with light chamomile notes towards the finish. It just requires a little more mineralité and nerve. Two barrels made (but this will expand in the future.)
