Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière Vieilles Vignes Hubert Lamy 2011
The wine
Hubert Lamy owns 1.25 hectares in the "Le clos de la Chatenière" premier cru. Chardonnay vines were planted here in 1964. The wine is concentrated, with superb substance. The terroir's mineral signature is particularly attractive. A magnificent Chardonnay for drinking after 3-12 years' aging.
About the Producer Hubert Lamy
With 18.5 hectares spread over six appellations, Olivier Lamy – who runs the estate – is one of the best ambassadors of the Saint-Aubin appellation, which is sadly not well known and produces a superb alternative to Chassagne wines. These wines are perfectly pure, taut and elegant thanks to the carefully ageing work.
The Lamy family has been working in Saint-Aubin since the mid-17th century. It was Hubert Lamy, Olivier’s father, who created the estate in 1973 with eight hectares of vines. The property grew in the 1990s before Olivier Lamy joined his father in 1995 after finishing his studies in wine. Father and son bridge the worlds of tradition and innovation together before Hubert passed away in 2022 at the age of 79.
In the vineyard as in the winery, the work is carried out meticulously following organic principals (non-certified). The different terroirs are vinified separately in 600-litre barrels (with very little new wood). A not-to-be-missed estate in the Côte de Beaune!
