2022 Hubert Lamy, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Derriere Chez Edouard Saint Aubin Cuvee Haute Densite

Lamy produced seven barrels of the 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité from this parcel at the top of the slope, planted at densities of up to 30,000 vines per hectare. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, peach and sweet citrus oil mingled with notions of honeycomb, white flowers and toasty reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with huge reserves of concentration and structuring dry extract, bright animating acids and a long, electric finish. This is another masterpiece from Olivier Lamy.

The 2022 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard "Haut Densité" 1er Cru has a fresh but tightly wound nose featuring hints of flint, shucked oyster shell and grassy meadow. The palate is beautifully balanced, vibrant, poised and focused, with a silver thread of acidity and just a slight honeyed note right on the finish. This is excellent.
