Description
Hubert Lamy founded Domaine Hubert Lamy in 1973, after working with his father for many years. At the time, this estate consisted of only a few hectares, mainly regional appellations. The domain has developed considerably since the 1990s. Think of new vines that were bought or rented such as: Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Clos de la La Chatenière”, “Derrière chez Edouard”, “Murgers des Dents de Chien”, “Clos du Meix”, Santenay “Clos de Hâtes”, Santenay 1er “Cru Clos des Gravières” and Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Chaumées”. New vines were also planted in Saint-Aubin 1er cru “En Remilly”.
After studying viticulture and wine marketing, Olivier Lamy completed several internships at the top estates in France. He joined his father in 1995. He brought new ideas with him, which he tested both in the vineyard and in the barrel room, with Hubert Lamy as the guarantor of traditions. Karine joined Olivier in 2005 to take care of the administrative and commercial aspects. Today, the estate covers 18.5 hectares, of which 85% is Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir. They produce around 100,000 bottles per year and export their bottles to 33 countries worldwide.
We are in Chassagne Montrachet at the "village" plot Les Concis du Champ. The vines in this vineyard were planted in 2005. Hubert Lamy owns 0.92 hectares in this plot and only makes Chardonnay here. Hubert Lamy's yield was reduced by frost in 2019, averaging around 25 hectoliters per hectare. William Kelley is critical of the 2019 wines but wrote: "It is hard to think of anyone in the Côte d'Or who understood the potential of the vintage in Chardonnay better than Olivier Lamy".
FACT : The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount. You will see the possible discount immediately if you choose Pick up on the Checkout page. We are located almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for address.

Aromas of peach, orange oil and fresh bread preface the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Le Concis du Champs, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and textural wine that's muscular and lively, with a generous core of fruit and fine structuring extract, concluding with a saline finish. This is a richer, more powerful Chassagne than its 2018 counterpart.
Sometimes I contemplate what I think might be the easiest way to make enemies in Burgundy: A Michelin Guide-style ranking, out of three stars, of the region's best domaines. Olivier Lamy would be one of three white wine producers in the Côte de Beaune to whom I would unquestionably award three stars. Last year, I wrote that I ran the risk of exhausting superlatives if I attempt to articulate just how much I admire these wines, and this year is no different. In 2019, yields were reduced by frost, averaging around 25 hectoliters per hectare, yet the wines aren't defined by it as they were, for example, in 2016, when an abundance of second- and third-generation grapes complicated the choice of harvest date. Concentrated and textural, with prodigious levels of dry extract, they will demand more patience than his superb 2018s, yet in the end I suspect they will prove even finer wines. As ever, given Lamy's cold cellars and his winemaking approach, the wines evolve slowly; this is far from the easiest tasting of my three months of visits, and I confess to succumbing to the venal sin of smugness at having left the afternoon empty when I witnessed two fellow critics arrive for our shared appointment fresh from six of seven preceding tastings. Attention to what is going on chez Lamy is liberally repaid, however, and behind the suspended lees and the reduction and (more rarely) the oak, it is apparent that this is a very special vintage in the making. Long after the sun set over the Côte d'Or, we continued tasting, looking at bottled 2017s and 2018s, wines that confirmed all the promise they showed during their élevage.

From: La Lumière Noire: 2019 Burgundy - Côte de Beaune (Dec 2020)
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet La Concis de Champs offers scents of gunflint and wilted white flowers on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a taut, lightly spiced entry. Peach skin and Braeburn apples furnish the finish with a subtle flinty aftertaste erring this towards Puligny. Very fine.
- By Neal Martin on October 2020
Two weeks prior to my visit chez Lamy in Saint-Aubin, I heard that Olivier had tested positive for Covid, fortunately asymptomatically. I must admit trepidation upon arriving, though he was in fine fettle and took the most precautions of any winemaker by relocating the tasting outside the barrel cellar. Tasting in freezing temperatures is not ideal and I began losing sensation in my fingers midway through the Premier Crus, but better to be safe. Lamy explained how poor flowering in spring predicated low yields around 25hl/ha, though there were exceptions to the rule such as the Saint-Aubin Les Princées that reached a respectable yield at 45hl/ha. The harvest started around 7 September with the Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet picked the following day. He was particularly effusive about the texture of his 2019s and the level of phenolics that he opined are better than in 2018. To prove that, he opened five 2018s and then, in what turned into a bit of a marathon tasting, a clutch of 2017s and randomly chosen bottles back to a 2002 Puligny Tremblots. For sure, Lamy’s 2019s are an exemplary showcase of Saint-Aubin’s terroirs, his white infused with compelling salinity and drive, occasionally with subtle earthy aromas that I often find accentuated with maturity. There is always an intellectual aspect to Lamy’s wines, not crowd pleasers, yet that is what can make them so compelling.
