Domaine Hubert Lamy — Saint-Aubin

The Mineral Purity of the Côte de Beaune

Founded in the 1970s by Hubert Lamy, the estate has become one of the leading signatures of great white wines from the Côte de Beaune. Since the late 1990s, Olivier Lamy has propelled the property into a new era, turning Saint-Aubin into a genuine laboratory of precision and high-craft viticulture.

With around 18 hectares spread across Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay, the estate cultivates some of the region’s most demanding parcels, often located at high altitude, on steep slopes, rooted in impoverished, limestone-rich soils of striking intensity.

Here, the vine struggles, the wine rises, and minerality speaks without filter.

Viticulture – Extreme Precision & a Fine-Grained Reading of the Terroir

The estate’s viticulture is defined by exceptional rigor and meticulous observation:

Manual ploughing and precise soil work adapted to each slope and exposure.
High trellising to maximize photosynthesis and aromatic maturity.
Very strict yield control to concentrate purity and energy.
Very early harvesting to preserve tension, freshness and moderate alcohol.
Reasoned viticulture, close to biodynamics, without seeking certification.

Each parcel is its own microcosm. Every detail matters. The estate seeks above all energy, salinity, and the bare, unfiltered expression of terroir.

Vinification & Aging – Soft Handling, Precision, and Minimal Intervention

Olivier Lamy’s philosophy is expressed through gentle, precise and non-interventionist winemaking:

Long, delicate pressings to extract without force.
Minimal settling to retain texture and aromatic complexity.
Indigenous yeasts for natural fermentations.
Extended aging in older barrels or large-format vessels (notably 600 L).
Very low proportion of new oak to avoid masking minerality.
Long aging on lees to enhance texture and deepen the wine’s mineral core.

The wines gain verticality, purity and a distinctive mineral grain. The Lamy signature: tension, finesse, chalky depth.

Wine Style – Whites of Stone & Light, Reds of Delicacy

White Wines – Wines of Slope, Rock and Light

The whites are true wines of slope, carved from limestone and driven by intense internal energy. They show:

a straight, saline minerality, often chalky and mouthwatering,
a vibrant tension and elongated structure,
a chiseled aromatic profile (citrus, white flowers, wet stone),
a long, saline finish,
a remarkable aging potential for the top cuvées.

Red Wines – Underestimated Elegance of the Côte de Beaune

Often underestimated, the reds deliver pure, crunchy fruit, silky tannins and the kind of delicacy reminiscent of the finest Côte de Beaune reds — refined rather than powerful.

Key Cuvées

Cuvée	Appellation	Style & Profile
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “En Remilly”	Saint-Aubin Premier Cru	The estate’s flagship parcel. A vertical, saline, tensile white wine of exceptional mineral precision. One of the benchmark expressions of Saint-Aubin’s chalky identity.
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Les Frionnes”	Saint-Aubin Premier Cru	A slightly more generous and open expression, while retaining the estate’s hallmark energy. Floral generosity meets calcareous tension.
Puligny-Montrachet “Les Tremblots”	Puligny-Montrachet Village	Absolute finesse. An aerial, floral Puligny, marked by deep minerality and impressive length. A pure expression of the Lamy style on one of Burgundy’s most renowned white wine villages.

Conclusion

Domaine Hubert Lamy has become one of the key protagonists of contemporary Burgundy: a chiseled style, a transparent reading of terroir, and a visionary approach that has elevated Saint-Aubin among the greatest white wine villages of the Côte d’Or. Purity, minerality, tension — the Lamy signature is now essential for lovers of great white Burgundy.
