Hubert Lamy, Santenay Clos Gravieres Blanc Size:6x750ml

Hubert Lamy, Santenay Clos Gravieres Blanc Size:6x750mlA completely different aromatic profile presents notes of petrol, resin, pear and soft spice wisps. Generously proportioned and very rounded medium bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the textured, clean and moderately dry finish that offers even better depth and length. Good stuff that is built to age yet should drink well young if that is your preference. (90 92) 2023+
