What is this wine?
Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Blanc La Princée 2022 is a vibrant, mineral Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most admired estates. Olivier Lamy, based in Saint-Aubin, has elevated the village to near–Puligny levels of prestige through meticulous biodynamic farming, restrained winemaking, and a relentless focus on terroir expression. La Princée is a blend of parcels across Saint-Aubin planted on limestone and clay soils at high elevation, giving the wine its hallmark freshness and tension. The 2022 vintage was fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (about 20% new), followed by a short time in tank for clarity and balance.

Why get this wine?
Olivier Lamy’s La Princée consistently overdelivers, capturing the precision and elegance of his more famous Premier Crus at a fraction of the price. The 2022 vintage shows classic Lamy energy—ripe orchard fruit, vibrant acidity, and mineral cut—all seamlessly woven together. It’s a brilliant introduction to the domaine and a textbook example of modern Saint-Aubin finesse.

What does this wine taste like?
Taut and expressive, with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, almond, and chalk. The palate is sleek and focused, balancing ripe fruit with saline minerality and a long, refined finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2024–2034. Serve slightly cool (around 55°F). Excellent with shellfish, grilled fish, or roast chicken. Decant briefly if enjoyed young to reveal its full aromatic profile.

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

"The 2022 Saint-Aubin La Princée has a crisp, minerally bouquet with wet limestone intermixed with Granny Smith aromas. It has fine delineation. The palate is taut on the entry, with a dab of spice and modest weight with plenty of ginger on the finish. It just needs a little more control and precision." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"The 2022 Saint-Aubin La Princée offers up notes of apple blossom, crisp orchard fruit and wet stones, followed by a medium-bodied, pure and racy palate that's fresh but charming. This will offer a broad drinking window." -William Kelley
