FEATURES
🏰 Domaine Hubert Lamy, led by the highly acclaimed Olivier Lamy, is renowned for its meticulous vineyard work, minimal intervention, and pioneering high-density planting, which contributes to wines of incredible depth and dimension. The Saint-Aubin appellation itself is considered an insider's secret for exceptional white Burgundies, offering great value due to its cooler climate, steep slopes, and rocky limestone soils that impart tension and elegance. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a wet winter and spring, followed by a warm summer, resulting in a vintage of both quality and quantity. White wines from Saint-Aubin were particularly impressive in 2018, with the vintage generally producing fuller whites. The 'Les Murgers des Dents de Chien' vineyard is exceptionally well-situated, bordering the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain and lying just above the Grand Cru Le Montrachet. Its name, referring to a pile of stones, hints at the rocky, high-altitude site that yields wines of surprising silky texture and depth, alongside intense, chalky minerality. William Kelley of Wine Advocate described the 2018 as "less advanced in its élevage... Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, white flowers and fresh pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional but also tightly wound and reserved, concluding with a long, saline finish." Other notes for this wine and vineyard highlight spicy citrus, pure lemon, just-ripe apricot, mouth-watering acidity, and a persistent, pure character. Expect smoky minerals, preserved lemon, white peach, and a deep, intense, silky texture with excellent line and cut, culminating in saline minerality. 【William Kelley of Wine Spectator awarded Olivier Lamy three stars, placing him among the top white wine producers in the Côte de Beaune】
