Precision and power — green apple, white peach, crushed stone, and a firm mineral spine with broad, generous shoulders. 100% Chardonnay from almost half a hectare of 35-year-old vines on a hillside northeast of the village, east-southeast facing on clay and limestone. 12 months in barrel, 25% new oak. Roughly 250 cases produced. "Sentier du Clou" means the nail path — the steep, rocky trail connecting Saint-Aubin to Gamay. This sits higher on the hill than Les Perrières, and you can taste the altitude in the tension. Two generations of village mayors, same family since 1945, same Rosenthal partnership since 1983. Pair with white fish, scallops, or aged Comté.
