Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Hubert Lamy 2011

The wine

Saint-Aubin is an appellation with no reason to be ashamed when up against big names like Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Naturally possessing a fine minerality, this wine will reward at least three years in the cellar in order to fully express its impressive supple and rich character. Foodies among you might want to pair this wine with roasted lobster, white meat in sauce, or a creamy cheese. Watch out, Domaine Hubert Lamy only produces small quantities of this cuvée!

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!
