Left Village Burgundy

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 90
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru offers lilting green apples, Conference pear and citrus peel on the nose. It's quite minerally but not quite as compelling as Lamy's Saint-Aubins. The palate is well balanced, taut, linear and quite sapid, with a fresh entry but without that knockout blow on the finish. Fine. " -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 95
"Over the last five years, as these high density plantings (which date to 2014) mature, this cuvée has made the most progress of any wine in the range, and the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées only confirms that. Unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, sweet citrus oil, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers and iodine, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and textural, with a cool core of fruit, racy acids and a long, mineral finish." -William Kelley
