Hubert Lamy, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Clos de la Chateniere Blanc 2023

The 2023 Saint-Aubin Clos de la Chatenière 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 1960 and was cropped at 35hl/ha. This distinctly has more reduction on the nose, making the aromatics difficult to read (Olivier Lamy was not sure exactly why). The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, perhaps one of the most elegant takes on Saint-Aubin, prolonged by its intrinsic sapidity and mineralité. Beautiful, but I would give it three or four years in bottle.
