【Hubert Lamy's 2018 Chassagne Montrachet Les Chaumees 1er Cru, hailed as potentially the best Chaumees to date, reveals exceptional depth and minerality!】 The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by abundant light, leading to early harvests but also requiring multiple passages to ensure optimal ripeness. Hubert Lamy's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées is particularly good, with the winery adopting new canopy management techniques. This Chardonnay offers aromas of fresh peach, citrus oil, pear, and delicate white flowers. The palate is full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, with a layered, enveloping profile and a long mineral finish. It presents good salinity, keen acidity, and a brisk, lively, lightly spiced finish, with prominent notes of minerals, stone, chalk, citrus, and subtle oak.

This premium white Burgundy is a superb match for rich seafood dishes like pan-seared scallops or lobster thermidor. It also complements roasted poultry, creamy risottos, and a variety of cheeses, especially goat cheese or a mature Comté. For an Asian pairing, consider a delicate steamed crab or a rich chicken and mushroom hotpot.
