Coming up as a sommelier at a fancy French restaurant in Napa Valley, I was subjected to a wild wealth of impressive white Burgundies; so extensive was (is) the list, that the occasional "value" white Burgundy would stick out more often than a Grand Cru. So was the case in the early 2010s for me, stumbling across what was then a "humble" wine - a Saint-Aubin bearing the name of Hubert Lamy. It was supple, Meursault-esque in its texture and aromatics yet different. Much like Joe Pesci might muse were he a sommelier, "Different HOW?"

Well, the difference is one man, Olivier Lamy, who came to inherit the domaine from his father Hubert and elevated the quality to wildly high standards. Today the wines are so beguiling, so sought-after and intense in their flavor profile that we can no longer call these "humble", yet in the grand scheme, Olivier's wines do still represent value; no matter what price point they inhabit on any given day, few others could ever hope to embody such class, elegance and purity.

Hubert Lamy

Founded by Hubert in the mid-1970s, Olivier's arrival in 1995 to the winemaking team elevated the property to the heights it has reached today. Located in Saint-Aubin, Olivier stopped selling the family's grapes to negociants and focused on elevating each and every plot the family owned. With this effort and the inclusion of several high-density plantings, the Lamy name today is synonymous with class, precision and ultimate elegance.

In the vineyards, all practices are organic and tireless in their efforts. The experiments of high-density plantings in 0.10-hectare sized plots within Chez Edouard (Saint-Aubin) and Les Tremblots. (Puligny) at 28-30,000 vines per hectare were incredibly successful and represent the pinnacle of Olivier's work ethic.

In the cellar, there is very little time wasted, with the grapes pressed from their skins immediately, and the barrels have become larger to deemphasize the impact of oak, allowing the freshness to shine through. Reds and whites are fermented in different cellars to allow whites to ferment slower within a cooler cellar, creating a wine of impeccable class and structure. Reds are always de-stemmed and allowed to soak prior to fermentation, prior to 12-18 months' aging.

The 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière unwinds in the glass with aromas of peach and pear mingled with iodine, wheat toast and gunflint and framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, layered and chalky, with a deep core of fruit and tangy acids that carry through the finish, it will reward bottle age.

The 2021 Saint-Aubin Clos de la Chatenière 1er Cru is another example of a reduced white burgundy, although it is not as heavy as Bachelet's Champlots. It does, however, miss a bit of complexity and personality. The palate is quite sharp on the entry with pointed citric acidity that does not quite gel with the rest of the wine, and there is some attenuation towards the finish. This is a good wine upended by the SO2. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
