2024 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Sur Gamay, Domaine Bertrand Bachelet

These vines were only planted in 2016, on a soil with limestone on top and clay underneath. The ’24 is fizzing with citrussy acidity, perhaps more so than mineral acidity, although it pretty much has the same effect. West exposed, the wine sees about 25% new oak and now that the vines are establishing themselves, they are starting to produce a concentration of fruit that’s becoming ever more interesting. Spice and lemon zest leave the palate fresh and invigorated. Drink from 2027
