Domaine Hubert Lamy, St Aubin Blanc, La Princée, Burgundy, France, 2020

Producer Profile

Olivier Lamy is one of the brightest stars in the Côte de Beaune, following in the footsteps of his father Hubert Lamy when he joined the family domaine in 1995.

Sadly, Hubert passed away in October 2022 and will be sorely missed. The fine quality of his wines has significantly enhanced the standing of Saint Aubin, which can now be mentioned in the same breath as the more celebrated neighbouring appellations of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. His signature racy styling, with great acidity and length, remains to the fore and his wines always punch well above their weight. They age well, too, due to their fine balance. The reds offer deep, ripe yet well-manicured tannins with good bright, fresh red fruit character alongside.

Viticulture

Located near the prestigious Montrachet, the Saint-Aubin vineyard produces white wines of great elegance. Mainly made from Chardonnay, these wines benefit from clay-limestone soils and a favorable climate that give them a rich and opulent character, along with excellent aging potential.

Tasting Note

Zesty lemon-lime, mouthwatering apple and delicate pear lead into a rich, medium-weight palate. The wine offers impressive depth and a smooth, refined texture, finishing with a lightly austere but lingering and elegant finish.

Food Matching

Fresh goat cheese salad with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, pan-seared sea bass with a citrus salsa.
