Producer Information

Domaine Hubert Lamy is a wine estate based in Saint-Aubin, Burgundy, producing well-regarded wines from that appellation. The domaine also has holdings in neighboring appellations in the Cte de Beaune, including a tiny plot in the Criots-Btard-Montrachet Grand Cru, several holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, and beyond. The domain was established in 1973, but the Lamy family history of vine growing in Saint-Aubin dates back to 1640. Since setting up, Hubert Lamy has passed management of the domaine onto his son, the Mo-Camuzet-trained Olivier Lamy. The estate now covers just under 20 hectares (50 acres) across Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay. However, the majority of the domaine vineyards are in Saint-Aubin, with around two-thirds of the holdings are given to Chardonnay and the remaining third, Pinot Noir. The soils are mainly comprised of the classic, ancient clay-limestone combination of the Cte d’Or, and, nominally, the domaine’s best land is a tiny 0.05 hectare (0.12 acre) plot in Criots-Btard-Montrachet Grand Cru. Lamy’s Chardonnay is fermented in barrels ranging from one to five years old and is bottled after 12-18 months of aging. Large format oak barrels, or hogsheads (between 300 and 600-liters in capacity) are preferred over the more regular 228L Burgundy barriques and around 30 percent of the oak is new wood.
