FEATURES
The 2019 vintage in Burgundy, though presenting challenges like April frosts and a cold, wet June, is widely celebrated as one of the best in recent years, yielding concentrated whites with excellent freshness. Warm and dry conditions in July led to hydric stress, concentrating the grape juice, and the harvest took place in mid-September. Hubert Lamy's Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes from 2019 is a testament to Olivier Lamy's dedication, with high-density plantings and meticulous winemaking emphasizing freshness over excessive oak. This wine, a blend of 40 and 70-year-old fruit, had just completed its malolactic fermentation when reviewed in late October.
On the nose, it offers a still primary yet elegant and very floral bouquet with aromas of apple, pear, and citrus confit, alongside a light sea spray note. The palate is round, concentrated, and impressively powerful, showcasing a chalky texture, sour lemon, and orange zest, culminating in a long, saline, and markedly dry finish with first-rate length and complexity. Critics have noted its vibrant energy and laser-like finishing flavor. 【Hubert Lamy's Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes is a seriously impressive Puligny villages wine, known for its concentration, elegance, and aging potential, reflecting Olivier Lamy's dedication to precision and terroir expression.】
🍴 This exquisite white Burgundy pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, goat cheese salad, and seafood pasta. It also complements fresh oysters, grilled fish, light salads, and even richer dishes like Provence-style dorade or ham-wrapped veal.
🥂 Perfect for special dinner parties, celebratory meals, or any fine dining experience where a sophisticated and age-worthy white wine is desired. While enjoyable now, it will greatly benefit from continued patience and cellaring.
