Vinous Tasting Note

The 2023 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru comes from vines on white marl soil, planted between 1985 and 2001. It has a harmonious bouquet with touches of shucked oyster shell infusing the green apple scents and a touch of dewy meadow. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, though I am just missing a little mineralité and terroir expression on the finish due to the growing season. Fine but I preferred the 2022 a year earlier.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine Hubert Lamy, a jewel of Saint-Aubin in Burgundy, has established itself as one of the benchmarks of the Côte de Beaune. Although its origins date back to the 1970s, it was from the 1990s onwards that the estate truly took flight, thanks to a policy of qualitative acquisition and replanting of Chardonnay. Today, Olivier Lamy embodies the soul of the estate, perpetuating the family legacy with an innovative approach. The estate spans some twenty hectares and produces wines sought after for their elegance, depth, and ability to reflect the typicity of their terroirs. Hubert Lamy's wines are distinguished by their expressive purity and minerality, particularly in cuvées such as the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Derrière Chez Édouard "Haute Densité," a signature of the estate. One also finds beautiful expressions in the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Clos de la Chatenière and En Remilly, as well as in Chassagne-Montrachet with a plot of old vines in La Goujonne. The rare Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru "Haute Densité" represents the pinnacle of the range, a wine of great finesse. Among the most closely followed cuvées are Domaine Hubert Lamy En Remilly, Domaine Hubert Lamy Derriere Chez Edouard 'Haute Densite', and Domaine Hubert Lamy Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 'Haute Densite'—useful reference points for understanding the identity of the house.
