What is this wine?
Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Blanc Clos de la Chatenière 2022 is a precise, mineral-driven white Burgundy from one of Saint-Aubin’s top Premier Cru vineyards. The Lamy family, led by Olivier Lamy, farms steep limestone slopes just southwest of Chassagne- and Puligny-Montrachet, using meticulous viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar. Clos de la Chatenière faces southeast and features thin, rocky soils that yield wines of striking tension and purity. The 2022 vintage was fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (about 20% new) before bottling, capturing the site’s hallmark balance between depth and freshness.

Why get this wine?
Olivier Lamy is one of Burgundy’s most respected vignerons, producing wines that rival — and often outperform — many Grand Crus. Clos de la Chatenière is among his most mineral and vertical cuvées, offering incredible precision and length. The 2022 vintage brings generous fruit wrapped in Lamy’s signature taut structure, making it a collector’s choice for those who value finesse, energy, and terroir clarity.

What does this wine taste like?
Vivid and refined, with aromas of lemon curd, white peach, hazelnut, and crushed stone. The palate is concentrated yet linear, with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2026–2038. Serve slightly cool (around 55°F). Ideal with lobster, scallops, or roasted poultry — or cellar for added complexity.

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 94
"The 2022 Saint-Aubin Clos de la Chatenière 1er Cru comes from older vines planted in 1964 on chalky soils. This has another mineral-driven, almost penetrating bouquet that grabs the olfactory senses. The palate is well balanced, fresh and focused, with Clementine and lemon zest notes and a cohesive, persistent finish. It's very intense and the sapidity makes you want to drink more and more. You have been warned." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière is showing brilliantly, offering up aromas of pear, orange oil, toasted hazelnuts and warm stones. Medium to full-bodied, dense and satiny, with a layered core of fruit, chalky structuring extract and a long, precise finish, I sometimes think that this cuvée—from old, virused vines in one of Saint-Aubin's most historic terroirs for Chardonnay—is one of the most underrated in Lamy's range." -William Kelley
