White Wine

From racy, crisp, Riesling, to rich full-bodied Chardonnay the white wine world has an incredible array of wine styles on offer.

Head to the Rhône Valley, where you’ll, Viognier, Roussane and Marsanne with their amazing textures and spice. Cross the border to Italy and it’s Arneis, Verdicchio, Greco, Carricante, and, Garganega offering up often flavours very different to those of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Revel in the diversity of white wine styles created, as winemakers seek to balance sugar, acid, alcohol, phenolics, the use of oak, lees, and, skin contact to create wines of harmony and personality.

Perhaps in Riesling more than any other white wine will you find nearly every style imaginable.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making white wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

Australia’s push to evolve Chardonnay is the perfect example!

Weissburgunder | Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

What he achieves by a combo of half vinified in stainless steel and half the ferments in barrel, is the ideal melding of the racy with the complex and textured.A pretty flash Weissburgunder AKA Pinot Bianco! Excellent drinking. A layer of that shroomy, wet wool earthy funk I often see, and enjoy in high acid whites. White flowers perfume. Ripe white grapefruit.

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin La Princée 2023

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin La Princée 2023

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.The 2023 Saint-Aubin La Princée comes from a vineyard suffering degeneration of vines,

Domaine Hubert Lamy Puligny Montrachet Les Tremblots Haute Densité 2023

Domaine Hubert Lamy Puligny Montrachet Les Tremblots Haute Densité 2023

Chardonnay | Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy

Lamy already makes a terrific, old-vine cuvée from just under a hectare in Les Tremblots, planted between 1946 and 1970. The HD portion of the parcel has massale selection vines interplanted between a few of these rows, bringing the density up to 22,000 vines per hectare. Although Lamy admits he has created a rod for his own back—his high-density parcels require more than twice the work of his regular parcels—he is obviously thrilled by the class of wine he is achieving.

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Haute Densité 2023

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Haute Densité 2023

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

The Lamy family have farmed the vines here for three generations, and the parcel borders the southeast corner of Bâtard right next to Madame Bize-Leroy’s Domaine d’Auvenay plot. Is it worth mentioning that d’Auvenay’s Criots is far more expensive? Olivier Lamy has taken the density here up to 24,000 vines per hectare, and unlike d’Auvenay (and most of its Grand Cru contemporaries), this wine is entirely unfettered by new oak (instead, it is raised in a single 250-litre, six-year-o

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité 2023

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

This singular wine comes from 0.7 hectares in Derrière chez Edouard, planted 20 years ago at a density of roughly 30,000 vines to the hectare (the vines are spaced around 30cm apart in 1m rows). At such a density, Lamy typically gets a maximum of three tiny clusters per vine (sometimes one and sometimes none!) and the entire plot only yields enough juice to fill the contents of a single barrel. Lamy’s trials with higher density have produced completely different wines and he has subsequently

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 2023

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

A murger is a pile of stones or a wall made from rocks extracted from a vineyard’s soil. The vineyard name (roughly translating to “the wall of dog’s teeth”) evokes the fragmented, jagged stones that abound on the soil. It’s a rocky hillside vineyard that borders the 1er Cru Puligny vines of Champ Gain (not Folatières as suggested in Neal Martin’s note below) and sits above Montrachet, literally on the “Mont-Rachet”. Then again, such mapping can be deceptive; when you sta

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

Lamy makes three cuvées from this beautiful southeast-facing plot, which sits behind the village cemetery. The Pinot Noir was planted in 1960; on the steeper slope directly behind are the Chardonnay vines planted some 20 years ago at a density of 14,000 vines per hectare (the vines that give this wine). At the top of the vineyard is the Haute Densité parcel (planted at a staggering 30,000 vines per hectare). The soils here are powerful white marl (chalky clay), which always imposes a deep an

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos du Meix 2023

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

Lamy’s tiny Clos du Meix parcel is just 0.7 hectares. It was planted between 1985 and 1995 at the western fringe of the village, at 300 metres. The sheltered location (just below Derrière chez Edouard), heavier clays and the fact that it is fully enclosed by a wall (and therefore protected from the cold, northern winds) always give excellent texture to go with this wine’s intense minerality. Although the topsoil is rich in clay, there is only 30cm before the vine roots hit hard limestone

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

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.“The 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru comes from var

Lovers of flavourful Chardonnay will be happy here! Amiot is turning out a compelling set of 1er Cru's. Their monopole Clos Saint-Abdon like the other two 1er Cru's I've tasted has a divine mouthfeel. It's the finish so pure and long. As the Amiot's open they step up several rungs of the ladder.

Superbly sweet, unctuous and delicately smooth on the beautifully layered and intense palate.
