Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin La Princée 2021

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

La Princée is a blend of 10 small village parcels from across just under three hectares. One-third of these vines are now over 60 years old, and the remainder were planted in 1985 and 2000. All the parcels are in the cooler, east-facing Saint-Aubin combe (valley), on chalky/mineral soils. It is therefore no surprise that this is a racy white Burgundy with great energy and a limestone-rich personality.“Aromas of white flowers, lemon oil and toasted nuts introduce the 2021 Saint-Aubin L

Both of Pillot’s Saint-Aubin vineyards lie on the east-facing hillside bordering Chassagne Premier Cru Chaumées. This is the end of the Chassagne hillside. The sites are separated from the rest of Saint Aubin by a small valley—the Premier Cru of En Remilly sits on the other side of this valley. It’s a very interesting part of Saint-Aubin, distinct from the terroirs of Domaine Hubert Lamy, for example. Les Charmois sits higher than Les Pitangerets, and although there is plenty of limesto

As noted above, Pitangerets has slightly poorer and stonier soils than Charmois and produces firmer, more savoury wines (although in 2022, this difference is less pronounced). Pillot farms half a hectare of vines that are approaching their 60th harvest. Some growers prefer to label this wine under the easier-to-pronounce climat name of Les Combes. Again, this is a powerful, dense, layered wine that starts rich but tightens up as it travels across the palate, with lovely, sappy freshness and dr

Lamy has 2.4-hectares in the 1er Cru Les Frionnes, with vines planted in 1935, 1960 and 1985. It’s a southeast-facing site with old, decomposed limestone/clay soils and a plethora of small rocks in the topsoil. The vines are adjacent to the Derrière chez Edouard, but this is a slightly warmer site and is therefore picked earlier. Frionnes gives both pulpy fruit and vibrant, saline freshness along with a compact, rocky close.“Habitually one of the domaine's more mineral wines, the

Lamy’s tiny Clos du Meix parcel is just 0.7 hectares, situated at the western fringe of the village. Planted between 1985 and 1995, the sheltered location (just below Les Castets on a south-facing slope), its heavier clays, and the fact that it is fully enclosed by a wall (and therefore protected from the cold, northern winds), always gives this wine excellent texture to go with its intense minerality. Contributing to this mineral character is the bony soil in this vineyard, which has just
