2021 Puligny-Montrachet, Les Tremblots, Haute Densité, Domaine Hubert Lamy, Burgundy

Description

From a vine density equivalent of 22,000 vines/ha; only 320 bottles made in 2021.

A lightly smoky nose displays distinctly cool notes of pear and apple compote, carnation, citrus confit and a hint of crushed fennel. There is excellent intensity to the beautifully well-detailed medium-weight flavours that are also markedly compact on the agreeably dry and refreshing finish that just goes on and on. It is highly unusual for a village-level wine, no matter the commune, to achieve this strikingly good level of quality and kudos to Lamy for having done so. In a word, brilliant.

Drink from 2033 onward

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. 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.
