2018 Bernard Moreau St-Aubin Sur Gamay

Sur Gamay, or above the village of Gamay; this cuvee used to be labelled after its lieu-dit Sous le Roche Dumay, which is the very highest spot of the Sur Gamay vineyard. A bouquet full of lime and blossom. Finely textured, in a stony, saline, mineral style. The 15% new oak is very discreetly woven in. Moreau buy in the grapes here; while Alex Moreau declines to say who from, he emphasizes that it’s a ‘good guy’ who also makes fine wine on his own behalf. It’s a lovely bottling, full of depth of character (NT 08/01/20)
