Domaine Hubert Lamy Description
Olivier has gained tremendous experience working in the vineyards and adapts his knowledge to how he plants, cares for, and treats his vines. Saint-Aubin is a great white Burgundy appellation to watch. In an ever-changing world, the cooler climate of Saint-Aubin, with its large combe and valley that brings in cool air from the western forested hills, keeps this area fresher compared to the great appellations that house most of the famous Grand Crus.
Among Olivier’s exciting philosophies is the planting of high-density (haute densité) vineyards, which he believes allows them to capture more from their terroir. The first vineyard planted this way in 2000 was the top part of the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Derrière Chez Edouard,” with the planting of 28,000 and later 30,000 vines per hectare—three times the normal planting density, effectively requiring three times the work to produce the same amount of wine. Not surprisingly, the result is overwhelming, and this wine has enormous depth and dimension.
While the backbone of this fine domaine is the stunning wines from Saint-Aubin, the jewel in the crown is its tiny holding in Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, located just above the vines of Leroy’s Domaine d’Auvenay.
Olivier’s wines are classic, refined, pure, and mineral, and each one reflects its respective terroir.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Aromas of plums, strawberries and spices introduce the 2022 Santenay Clos des Hâtes, a medium-bodied, supple and lively wine with a sweet core of fruit framed by powdery tannins.
Vinous: 88 Points
The 2022 Santenay Clos des Hâtes offers redcurrant and cranberry scents on the straightforward nose. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. It's a little Pommard-like in style, with insistent grip on the finish. This is a solid follow-up to the 2021.
Burghound: 88 Points
An acceptably fresh nose of black cherry, forest floor and plenty of earth character leads to succulent, round and easy-going flavors that possess reasonable punch on the mildly rustic and mineral-suffused finale that flirts with dryness. This is ripe enough that I suspect it will age out successfully and my rating offers the benefit of the doubt.
