ABV: 13.5%

A golden yellow in colour, the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru `Sur Gamay` has aromas of white flowers, stone fruit and pear coupled with a hint of fresh pastry and fine mineral notes. The palate is elegantly textured with concentrated fruit and honeyed flavours balanced perfectly by a crisp acidity and long, tangy finish.

Saint-Aubin is spread over two different hill ranges: one is the Montagne de Savoie, which marks the end of the Côte d'Or, the other is the Montagne du Ban which runs perpendicular to it. The Premier Cru ‘Sur Gamay’ is situated on the slopes of Montagne du Ban, near to Puligny-Montrachet. Grégory sources this Chardonnay from 0.59ha of south-facing vines, planted on limestone soil. The vines are Guyot trained and are 45 years old on average, lending excellent concentration to the finished wine.

Jean-Claude Boisset is a family-owned wine company founded in 1961. Jean-Claude’s first parcel of land was located in Gevrey-Chambertin and today the company is based in Les Ursulines, a former convent in Nuits-Saint-Georges, and run by his children Jean-Charles and Nathalie. In 2018, they opened a new state-of-the-art winery, which reflects their modern, technical approach to winemaking. The wines have been made by Grégory Patriat since 2002. He previously worked as head viticulturalist and assistant winemaker at the legendary Domaine Leroy, and has brought a detailed, vineyard-led approach to Jean-Claude Boisset
