Saint-Aubin 1er cru Les Frionnes 2023 Domaine Hubert Lamy

Les Frionnes stands among the most emblematic terroirs of Domaine Hubert Lamy, where Olivier Lamy crafts Chardonnays of rare tension, marked by moderate ripeness and crystalline balance. The 2023 vintage, more temperate than previous years, allows an expression of remarkable precision, with structuring freshness and perfectly controlled aromatic brilliance.

The nose opens onto notes of ripe lemon, bergamot, fresh almond and white flowers, with the telltale limestone signature of the slope in the background: a scent of damp stone and rubbed chalk. The palate, direct and slender, impresses with its energy. The material is refined, stretched, vibrant, almost tactile, supported by linear acidity that extends the flavours across a saline finish and deeply digestible conclusion.

In the Lamy style, this 2023 marries purity, intensity and a profound reading of terroir. It is a wine built for cellaring, seven to twelve years without difficulty, yet already compelling in its limpid expression and exemplary balance. A truly fine slope white, ideal for accompanying precise cuisine: raw fish, iodine-touched shellfish, subtly creamed poultry or aged hard cheeses.
