Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'Clos du Meix' 2022

Lamy’s tiny Clos du Meix parcel is just 0.7 hectares. It was planted between 1985 and 1995 at the western fringe of the village, at 300 metres. The sheltered location (just below Derrière chez Edouard), heavier clays and the fact that it is fully enclosed by a wall (and therefore protected from the cold, northern winds) always give excellent texture to go with this wine’s intense minerality. Although the topsoil is rich in clay, there is only 30cm before the vine roots hit hard limestone. This is another cuvée that has progressed in leaps and bounds over the last decade and is now delivering outstanding quality and value in the context of modern Burgundy. Importer’s Note

“A little reduction in the depth of this. Great in the mouth though – large in scale, with a leading edge that washes over the palate in mouth-watering style – if you want to open it now, carafe.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
