Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Sur Gamay” Reviews

A pungent nose mixes notes of mild reduction, wood and a distinct resin character. There is good punch and detail to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess a refreshing, clean and dry finish of moderate depth and length where the wood found on the nose resurfaces. This is crisp and brisk and though it could easily be enjoyed now I would suggest cellaring it for 2 to 3 years to allow a bit more depth to develop. That said, if you’re going to try a bottle young I would advise decanting it for 20 minutes or so first. 88/2016+

). Opulent, ripe and fruity, this is classic Saint-Aubin. Generous fruitiness is balanced with crisp acidity and touches of minerality and spicy wood. Its fruitiness makes it accessible now, but several years’ aging will make it even better and certainly more complex.
