Olivier Lamy is in my view one of the greatest winemakers in today’s Burgundy. He has had me confused at times, he has explained and clarified and in the end, he also convinced me.

The Lamy wines are brutally honest … showing what the terroir and Olivier have envisioned. Some wines are more to my liking …, but others do not fit my palate … as the wine and the terroir show notes that are not in line with what I would like on the day.
The bigger terroirs show it all, and will satisfy all palates while some of the lesser wines show only a part of the full picture … this is where they can conflict with my palate. I am looking to be gratified. I am looking to find a wine that will satisfy my need right here and right now, along with my spaghetti Vongole.
This is also why I will take a different angle on the Lamy wines … speaking more about the possibilities food-wise… thus expressing the wines this way when we are speaking of the lesser wines.
The tasting of the 2022s was held at Domaine Hubert Lamy – November 19, 2024 with almost all the big critics … so a rather unusual group … we don’t meet that often … Allen, Jasper, Steen, Bill and William … Neal missing.









Domaine Hubert Lamy Chantenaire 2022
Entering at Chantenaire a very drinkable wine with a appetizer appeal … more generously fruity than some of the bigger wines … with less focus on the stony side of the terroir. Important wine in the lineup … for relaxed enjoyment.
(Drink from 2025) – Good (87p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “La Princée” 2022
Saint-Aubin “La Princée” – is in 2022 darker fruited with more yellow fruit notes on my palate … this is one of the wines that collided a bit with my palate in 2022 … the darker yellow fruit notes do not appeal.
(Drink from 2025) – Very Good (87p)
Domaine Hubert Lamy Chassagne-Montrachet Le Concis du Champs 2022
Moving to the Chassagne village we get the expression I love as the richer and more generous fruit does give me the possibility to pair the wine with light fish and poultry dishes … Fruit notes lighter … what a delightful wine.
(Drink from 2027) – Very Good (89p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Puligny-Montrachet “Les Tremblots” Classic 2022
The Puligny-Montrachet “Les Tremblots” is a step up … this is not just a vin de soif. Slight reduction … denser with a lovely quite classical Puligny fruit. I adore the fruit and terroir of this wine … it appeals to light food … Spaghetti Vongole … you said it! The slight citrus note of Puligny works very well with seafood .. love the fruit and mineral-driven finish.
(Drink from 2029) – Very Good (90-91p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Santenay “Clos des Graviéres” Blanc 2022
The Santenay Graviere is another style of wine … saline and quite muscular and can go with even denser food. It is not as refined as the Puligny Tremblot, but it has an energy and persistent force that makes it very charming. Deep and quite elegant with its fascinating salinity.
(Drink from 2031) – Very Good (90p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “Clos Du Meix” 2022
As Prince on the deeper coloured fruit in this occasion… not for my palate currently …
(Drink from 2029) – Very Good (88p)
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “Les Frionnes” 2022
The Saint-Aubin “La Frionnes” is a pretty wine with quite rich fruit slightly side a bit on the darker side … on the balance for me in 2022. Perhaps on the slightly ripe side with the phenolics … what can I say … it is not making me fly in this vintage
(Drink from 2029) – Very Good (88-89p)
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “En Remilly” 2022
The Saint-Aubin En Remilly is a trusted favourite chez Lamy .. also in 2022. The nose is very expressive and mineral-driven – offering plenty of charming and airy fruit. The perfect balance for me … of power, intensity and complexity. My go-to Vongole wine … so please cook me some Spaghetti Vongole
(Drink from 2031) – Very Good (90-92p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “Derrière chez Edouard” 2022
Moving up to Saint-Aubin Derriére Chez Edouard a more robust terroir offering more deep intense minerality. The bouquet offers lovely fresh reddish fruit brought forward by a quite vivid acidity. On the palate, we find a lovely balance. Another kind of Saint-Aubin … but I love it … salmon with a tartar sauce perhaps.
(Drink from 2031) – Very Good (90-91p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “Les Murgers des Dents de Chiens” 2022
The Saint-Aubin Les Murgers Dents de Chiens is a mineral powerhouse. Strong stone minerality that will take some food pairing to find the optimal combination. The nose offers cool and airy fruit – brought forward by the intense and vibrant minerality of this exciting terroir. A bit on the yellow side … grilled lobster with some spices would work for me … chilly and this minerality would work on my table
(Drink from 2031) – Fine (91-92p) –
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “Clos de la Chatenière” 2022
Very elegant and vivid oulala … perfect mature fruit …. “Lovely liveliness… je adore – sexy sexy”. Ok, let’s not get carried away here its how I like my Lamy ripeness wise …the freshness … legér and very appealing … for drinking the full bottle and thinking about the next one. Lamy is using long elevage … and I find that it’s very important that the ripeness is on the perfect level or even slightly low on the phenolic side to maintain some tension in the fruit.
(Drink from 2031) – Fine (92-93p) –
