Jean-Claude Boisset 2017 Sur Gamay Premier Cru (Saint-Aubin)
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. Drink from 2022. Roger Voss
