Domaine Hubert & Olivier Lamy
The Lamy family has been working in the vineyards since 1640. Domaine Hubert Lamy was created by Hubert Lamy in 1973. Before creating his own domaine Hubert worked with his father Jean Lamy. Today Domaine Hubert Lamy covers 18.5 hectares spread over the appellations Saint-Aubin Puligny-Montrachet Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay: four villages of the Côte de Beaune recognized for both white wines and red wines.
Description
The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière opens in the glass with scents of pear, gunflint, musk, melon, wheat, toast, wet stones and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied ample but controlled its concentrated core of fruit is underpinned by lively acids and elegantly chalky structure. This year as a flurry of early December snow fell outside Olivier Lamy opted to show his bottled 2019s rather than his 2020s from barrel - a choice I warmly endorse as wines evolve slowly in these cold cellars where larger vessels predominate and nothing is done to accelerate the maturation process.
