Domaine HUBERT LAMY Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Derriere chez Edouard" 2022 (Red)

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Pinot Noir

Tasting notes: "The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Rouge is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, bergamot and rose petals. On the plate, it's medium to full-bodied, precise and mineral, with excellent concentration and a finer-boned profile than Lamy's heartier reds from Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet." - 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.
