Critical Recognition

Burghound 94 pts
  • 94 Points - Burghound (Allen Meadows): Outstanding. This is one of the riper wines in the range with its aromas of pear liqueur, mineral reduction and citrus confit. The succulent and quite concentrated medium-bodied flavors exude an almost aggressive stoniness on the lilting but rich finale that offers even better depth and persistence. This bitter zest-inflected and decidedly firm effort could also be enjoyed after 5 to 7 years but has the stuffing to repay a decade plus of aging. Outstanding.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: A brilliant, benchmark representation of Saint-Aubin from Olivier Lamy, one of Burgundy’s most revered contemporary winemakers.
  • Terroir: "Clos de la Chatenière" is a steep, south-facing Premier Cru with shallow, stony soils situated directly over hard limestone. This unique exposition provides generous, ripe fruit, while the bedrock imparts an intense, piercing minerality.
  • Winemaking: Domaine Hubert Lamy is famous for high-density plantings and meticulous canopy management. The wines are pressed gently and aged predominantly in larger 300 to 600-liter casks (demi-muids) rather than standard barriques, which minimizes oak flavor and allows the sheer terroir to shine through.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2021 vintage, marked by severe spring frosts, yielded tiny quantities of highly concentrated, classically styled white Burgundy. This wine beautifully showcases the tension, energy, and robust aging potential of the vintage.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a luminous pale gold, this striking Premier Cru opens with Olivier Lamy's signature struck-match mineral reduction. As it breathes, it reveals a ripe, concentrated bouquet of pear liqueur, citrus confit, and crushed rock. On the palate, it is succulent and medium-bodied, immediately distinguished by an almost aggressive, driving stoniness and a touch of bitter citrus zest. The mid-palate generosity is perfectly framed by a decidedly firm structure, carrying into a lilting, remarkably rich finale of outstanding depth and persistence.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a wide-bowled white Burgundy glass to allow the complex reductive and mineral aromatics to fully unfurl.
  • Decanting: Highly recommended to decant for 45-60 minutes if drinking in its youth. Built for the cellar, it has the tension and stuffing to evolve beautifully over the next 10-15 years. Pair with butter-poached lobster, roasted turbot, or a rich veal blanquette.
