2017 Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité

The Lamy family has been working in the vineyards of Saint-Aubin in Burgundy since 1640. In 1973, after working with his father for many years, Hubert Lamy founded Domaine Hubert Lamy. At that time, the estate consisted of no more than 8 ha, mainly located in regional appellations. Today, the estate extends over 18.5 ha, of which 80% is Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, divided between the appellations of Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay. As for treatment against diseases and pests, they work "lutte raisonnée" or with integrated pest management: products that respect nature and are only used when necessary. For the last 10 years, no chemical fertilizers have been used in the vineyards, only organic compost.

The grapes for cuvée Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'Derrière chez Edouard Haute Densité' come from a small vineyard with a high planting density, located on a plot 'behind Edouard'.

One of the highlights is certainly this Lamy's 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité. A wine that needs time, but when it does an incredible complexity of aromas emerge from the glass. In the glass, a few swirls reveal aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus, freshly baked bread, honey, stone fruit and a youthful reduction on the nose. Full-bodied, satiny, layered and concentrated, with incredible depth and intensity, with a tightly wound core built around zesty acidity and chalky structuring extract. This is a brilliant white Burgundy that fully realises the potential of the site and the vintage. Only 1,300 bottles were made and each bottle is numbered. According to Robert Parker, this is another brilliant rendition of one of contemporary Burgundy's most fascinating wines (97+/100).
