Domaine HUBERT LAMY Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Clos de la Chateniere" 2019 - Magnum 1.5L

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting notes: "Bursting with aromas of orange oil, green apple, toasted bread and white flowers, the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière is medium to full-bodied, with a rounder, fleshier profile than the Derrière Chez Edouard, but similarly tensile and mineral in underlying structure. Long and penetrating, this is built to age." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the winery:
Hubert Lamy founded his estate in 1973, starting with one hectare of Saint-Aubin from his father and additional leased vineyards. Over the years, he expanded the estate to 14 hectares, with 10 being premier cru, primarily replanting with Chardonnay. Olivier, who joined in 1995, introduced innovations like high-density plantations and the Guyot Poussard training system. Despite early challenges, the Lamys achieved remarkable results, producing about 100,000 bottles annually from 20 appellations, emphasising meticulous hand-harvesting and organic cultivation.
