3 x Saint-Aubin, 1er cru - Les Frionnes, Domaine Hubert Lamy, 2016

Seller description

The 2016 Domaine Hubert Lamy Les Frionnes, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, from Domaine Hubert Lamy in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, is a finely etched expression of high-altitude Chardonnay from the Les Frionnes climat in Saint-Aubin. The 2016 vintage, shaped by a challenging growing season marked by frost and low yields, delivers remarkable concentration and tension. On the nose, it reveals precise aromas of citrus zest, white peach, crushed stone, and subtle hazelnut, underpinned by a pronounced mineral spine typical of Saint-Aubin’s limestone-rich soils. The palate is taut and linear, driven by vibrant acidity, with a saline, chalk-inflected finish and impressive persistence. Fermented and aged with judicious use of oak, it balances texture and freshness with notable finesse and ageing potential.
