GRAPE
gamay NOIR
Bramble fruit nose; waves of dark fruit, tangy finish. Instantly-recognizable as Gamay on the nose: at once light/deep; lithe/agile; elegant, perfumed/ reticent - this, SURELY, must be Bai Xu’s moment!!! Glassene, bright, rich, a deep, ripe-berried savoury volume, long and oh, so evanescently agreeable!! The old-vine flavours and mouthfeel reveal the clay and limestone tangy mineral terroir of the parcel. Drink it tonight with immense pleasure: drink it five years from now just to experience the pure complexity and joy this wine will doubtlessly bring us! It will likely be at its best from 2024-2028!
One of the “Seven Wonders of our cellar that shines so brightly, Bai Xu hails from the oldest vines we work with (1981) planted on Line Three in N.O.T.L. – The wines are cared for with great love by Jackson Bai (Xu Bai) himself. In the wine, we sense the calm purity and lightly-perfumed fruit of the immense viticultural effort that Jackson puts in.
