Left Saint-Aubin

Olivier Lamy is one of the rare burgundy producers who seems to be equally good at making red and white wine. He is endlessly experimenting and wants to achieve new heights in grape growing and winemaking. He is fanatic about pruning - where some growers might give up on a certain vine, Olivier will cut out diseased portions and coax a damaged vine back to health. This resurrected vine may only produce a few grapes but those grapes have such intense flavor.

Since 1995 he has been steadily increasing the vine density of his vineyards to 14,000 per hectare (compared to the standard density in Burgundy of 10,000; it's far less in other parts of the world). Some are planted at 4,000- 5,000 per hectare. He studied that before the phylloxera epidemic when vines were not planted in rows that vine densities were much greater - so he planted a section of one Saint Aubin vineyard at a density of 30,000 vines per hectare which puts great stress on the vines and reduces yields increasing flavor intensity, extract and acidity. He serves this wine last in a tasting.

There are no recipes at Chez Lamy - he harvests when the grapes are ripe which might be before or after his neighbors. He uses between 10-30% new oak at most but he may use none. The vineyards are farmed more or less organically but he will spray if he needs to fight mildew or oidium. These are uncompromising wines of coiled power and great tension - red or white.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2022 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru comes from two parcels at either end of the vineyard. It has a strict flint- and crushed stone-scented nose that's very minerally and uncompromising. The palate is fresh, vibrant and beautifully balanced on the entry with just the right amount of acidity. It has wonderful sapidity and tension on the finish with a dab of ginger on the aftertaste. This is outstanding." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly is a beauty, bursting with aromas of pear, peach, white flowers and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's cool and vibrant, with a pure core of fruit, lively acids and a mineral finish. As I've written before, it unites the aromatic expression and textural attack characteristic of its sunny exposition with the tension and cut appropriate to this high-altitude, stony site." -William Kelley
