Saint-Aubin 1st Growth Derrière chez Edouard Haute densité 2022 - Domaine Hubert Lamy

Tasting Notes – Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Derrière Chez Édouard” Haute Densité 2022 – Domaine Hubert Lamy

APPEARANCE: Pale golden hue, bright and crystalline, announcing tension and purity.

NOSE: Deep and refined bouquet, combining white flowers, citrus zest, and a pronounced chalky minerality. The aromatic intensity reflects the unique concentration brought by high-density planting.

PALATE: The vines are planted at 20,000 vines per hectare (compared to the traditional 10,000), naturally reducing vigor, producing smaller berries, and concentrating the aromas. This translates directly in the glass: the attack is straight, vibrant, and precise, with a dense yet elegant texture. Flavors of juicy pear, candied lemon, and fresh almond unfold with clarity. The saline, impressively long finish combines restrained power with radiant freshness.

In summary: Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Derrière Chez Édouard” Haute Densité 2022 embodies Hubert Lamy’s innovative vision: an exceptional wine of intensity and precision, standing as a benchmark for the appellation. Already superb with refined seafood or noble fish, it will continue to gain in complexity and depth with age.
