Domaine HUBERT LAMY Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Les Frionnes" 2019 - Magnum 1.5L
Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: "The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is showing beautifully in bottle, mingling scents of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil and peach with hints of crushed chalk and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, it's layered and saline, concluding with a mouthwatering finish." - 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.
