Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'Sur Gamay' 2020 - Domaine Moingeon

THE WINE

The Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Sur Gamay" 2020 from Domaine Moingeon is a vibrant and finely sculpted Chardonnay that perfectly reflects the limestone-rich terroir of one of Saint-Aubin's most respected Premier Cru vineyards. Aromas of ripe lemon, white peach, pear, and acacia blossom are complemented by notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh brioche, flint, and a hint of butter. The palate is both generous and precise, balancing ripe orchard fruit with crisp acidity and a distinctive chalky minerality. Careful oak ageing adds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's freshness and purity, leading to a long, elegant finish marked by citrus zest, saline minerality, and remarkable finesse. Refined and expressive, it is a classic Côte de Beaune Chardonnay with excellent ageing potential. 

THE WINEMAKER

Domaine Moingeon is a family-owned estate based in the village of Saint-Aubin, where generations of the Moingeon family have cultivated vineyards across Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet. Committed to traditional Burgundian winemaking, the domaine combines sustainable vineyard practices, meticulous hand harvesting, and careful fruit selection with gentle pressing and measured ageing in French oak. This restrained approach allows each vineyard to express its individual character while maintaining freshness, balance, and mineral precision. The estate has earned a reputation for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that consistently offer exceptional value and faithfully capture the distinctive identity of the Côte de Beaune's finest appellations.
