Crafting Burgundy’s Purest Expressions of Saint-Aubin Terroir
Nestled in the historic village of Saint-Aubin, Domaine Hubert Lamy is a beacon of precision and innovation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. Founded in 1973 but rooted in winemaking traditions dating back to 1640, this family estate is now helmed by Olivier Lamy, a visionary winemaker renowned for his mineral-driven, terroir-transparent Chardonnays and elegant Pinot Noirs.
Key Highlights
-
Pioneering Viticulture: Olivier’s groundbreaking high-density planting (up to 30,000 vines/ha) and Guyot Poussard pruning extract unparalleled depth from Saint-Aubin’s limestone-rich soils, yielding wines with electrifying acidity and concentration.
-
Iconic Vineyards: The estate’s 18.5 hectares span premier crus like "Derrière Chez Edouard" (a high-density marvel) and a sliver of Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, alongside holdings in Puligny and Chassagne.
-
Minimalist Winemaking: Fermentation in 600-liter demi-muids and aging in <15% new oak preserve purity. Whites undergo extended élevage (18–24 months) for texture without heaviness.
-
Critical Acclaim: Hailed as “one of Burgundy’s best-kept secrets” by Jasper Morris MW, Lamy’s wines consistently earn 95+ scores for their “racy energy” and “limestone-inflected brilliance”.
