Saint-Aubin La Princée Hubert Lamy 2019
The wine
The Chardonnay grapes which produce this Saint-Aubin grow in light and shallow clay-limestone soils. At this domain the fruit is harvested by hand, before a three-month fermentation in barrels. The resulting wine then ages for 15 months, again in barrels. Subtle citrus aromas and mineral overtones are constituents of this cuvée’s great freshness, making it the perfect accompaniment to fish cooked in cream, or goat’s cheeses.
About the Producer Hubert Lamy
The Lamy family has been working in Saint-Aubin since the mid-17th century. Hubert Lamy created his domaine in 1973, over 8 hectares. Today, the domaine covers 18.5ha and produces wines in 18 appellations. Olivier Lamy, who joined the domaine in 1995, has now followed his father into management. Today he is one of the best ambassadors of the Saint-Aubin appellation, which is sadly not well known and is a superb alternative to the Chassagne wines. Less seductive than those of certain neighbours, the wines are superb in their integrity and elegance thanks to a particularly well managed aging process and generally made in 600 litre demi-muids. A not-to-be-missed location in the Côte de Beaune.
