Saint Aubin Derriere Chez Edouard Cuvee Haute Densite Hubert Lamy 2018

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité 2018 is a medium-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Derrière Chez Edouard in the St-Aubin appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Managed by Olivier Lamy since 1996, Domaine Hubert Lamy is seen as one of the most progressive and terroir-focused wine producers in the Côte de Beaune. In recent years Olivier has been experimenting with different vineyard planting densities in an attempt to achieve even greater terroir expression. This 1er Cru St-Aubin is produced from Chardonnay planted at high density in the climat of Derrière Chez Edouard. "The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard is showing brilliantly, offering up a deep bouquet of white flowers, warm bread, citrus zest and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, multidimensional and concentrated, this is tensile and mineral, with racy acids and chalky structuring extract that purists will find irresistible. Lamy included some fruit from young vines planted at high density in this bottle this year." Wine Advocate, 2020
