Domaine HUBERT LAMY Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Derriere chez Edouard" 2022 - Jeroboam 3L

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: "Once again, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard contains the young high-density plantings that Lamy deems insufficiently mature to merit inclusion in his Haute Densité cuvée. Offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, its satiny attack segueing into a taut, chalky mid-palate and a long, mineral finish." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the Winery:
Hubert Lamy founded his estate in 1973, starting with one hectare of Saint-Aubin from his father and additional leased vineyards. Over the years, he expanded the estate to 14 hectares, with 10 being premier cru, primarily replanting with Chardonnay. Olivier, who joined in 1995, introduced innovations like high-density plantations and the Guyot Poussard training system. Despite early challenges, the Lamys achieved remarkable results, producing about 100,000 bottles annually from 20 appellations, emphasising meticulous hand-harvesting and organic cultivation.
