Hubert Lamy Bourgogne Blanc Les Chataigners 2022

Lamy farms four small parcels on the white limestone soils of Les Chataigners. Tucked up at the far end of the village on the Finage de Saint-Aubin, this site is his highest and coolest vineyard, with vines planted in 1990 and 2008. The fruit is whole bunch-pressed and ferments spontaneously before being raised in older barrels. This is perennially one of the Côte’s most impressive Bourgogne-level whites, and it is worth noting that this year’s wine includes plenty of declassified 1er Cru fruit.

“A pretty freshness and with some florals too. Scale, silk, that’s like 23 too but with additional dry extract in this finish. Finishing strong and faintly chalky. Great wine for the label !!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report

“The 2022 Bourgogne Les Chataigners is ample and fleshy, bursting with aromas of pear, ripe apples, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium-bodied, open and giving, it includes declassified juice from the final press fractions of Lamy’s top cuvées. This will drink well on release.” 89 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
