Domaine Hubert Lamy, St Aubin Blanc, La Princée, Burgundy, France, 2021

Producer Profile

Olivier Lamy is one of the brightest stars in the Côte de Beaune, following in the footsteps of his father Hubert Lamy by joining him at the family Domaine in 1995.

Sadly, Hubert passed away in October 2022 and will be sorely missed. The fine quality of his wines has helped to enhance dramatically the standing of Saint Aubin, where it can now be mentioned in the same breath as its more celebrated neighbouring appellations of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Driven and hardworking, Olivier is one of the first to understand that most of the work has to be done in the vineyard. The signature racy styling with great acidity and length remains to the fore, always punching well above their weight. They will age well 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

The nose is mineral with a wet chalky edge to it, as well as apple aromas. Tight on the palate, there is some spice like ginger

Food Matching

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