Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 96/100
This cuvée now includes both the 20,000 and 30000 vines per hectare plantings. Light green inflections to the mid lemon yellow colour. Much more bouquet here than the Tremblots, more weight of fruit, some citron confit, a vast wealth of fruit all across the palate, then an electric finish. The wealth behind this is extraordinary, shows what it is about at a level over and above the Tremblots. Tasted: November 2022.Drink 2028-2038Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (April 2023)

The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité is another brilliant rendition of one of contemporary Burgundy's most fascinating wines. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of lime zest, white flowers, wet stones, oyster shell and subtle reduction, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a multidimensional core of fruit that's framed by racy acids and huge reserves of chalky dry extract. Incisive, penetrating and tightly wound, anyone lucky enough to acquire a bottle or two should plan on a minimum of a decade's patience.Drink 2030-2060William Kelley, Wine Advocate (January 2023)

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

Domaine Hubert Lamy

There have been Lamys growing vines in St-Aubin since 1640 - today it is run by Olivier Lamy. Olivier is representative of a new breed of Burgundian grower keen to progress. He worked at Méo-Camuzet before taking over in 1996 from father Hubert. Olivier ceased supplying négociants in 1997, grubbing up and selling off peripheral vines, keeping only the best and oldest sites. Currently he is experimenting with different planting densities in a quest to capture even greater expression of terroir.
