The JanotsBos Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Sur Gamay 2012 is a remarkable Chardonnay from the prestigious Sur Gamay vineyard in Saint-Aubin, crafted by Thierry Janots and Richard Bos. This 2012 vintage, now over a decade old, displays a deep gold hue and a complex nose of ripe pear, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut, with hints of honey and a chalky minerality from the limestone-rich soils. On the palate, it is rich yet elegant, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine achieves a perfect balance of fruit and oak, showcasing JanotsBos’ non-interventionist philosophy and lutte raisonnée farming. Its mature profile offers tertiary notes of brioche and spice, making it a collector’s gem. Perfect with lobster, creamy sauces, or aged cheeses, this wine delivers a luxurious dining experience. With its peak drinking window now, it remains a testament to the estate’s ability to craft world-class Burgundy whites that rival top appellations.
