2018 Hubert Lamy, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Clos du Meix Blanc

For reports and full tasting notes, go toTim Atkin MW's website.

The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos du Meix reveals aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers, citrus zest and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round but incisive palate that's chalky and mineral, with fine depth at the core and a long finish. This rocky, southeasterly exposed site is located by the village, below Derrière Chez Edouard.

The 2018 Saint-Aubin Clos de Meix 1er Cru comes from hard limestone soils in the middle of the village. It has an intense, quite malic bouquet featuring Granny Smith apples, freshly sliced pear and sea spray. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, impressive weight in the mouth and a harmonious, saline finish that bodes well for the future. I can see this aging well.
