(from a 1.06 ha parcel planted in 1950). This is also relatively expressive and offers up aromas that are quite similar to those of the Clos des Hâtes but with hints of pepper in evidence. I like the sense of energy to the detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess very good depth before terminating in a rustic finish that is shaped by phenolically mature tannins. This is an excellent Chassagne villages and recommended. 2018+ Rating: 89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2014)

From Olivier Lamy’s 60-year-old vines that were reduced by multiple frosts during the season, the 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Goujonne has a slightly clipped bouquet, but that is compensated by a boisterous palate with thickset tannins, plenty of black fruit infused with spice, and a splash of soy on the finish. Give this a year in bottle and you will have a fine red Chassagne suitable for early drinking. Rating: 87-89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2014)

Domaine Hubert Lamy

Olivier Lamy has built on the solid foundations his father Hubert prepared with twenty years and more of work in the vineyards. Today the Domaine has 18.5 hectares of vines - 80% are Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. The vines are in several appellations - Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay, as well as the excellent Bourgogne Blanc. The reputation of the domaine is now made, but the Saint Aubins, both red and white, remain some of the bargains of Côte d'Or, and challenge the supposed superiority of the grander village names on a regular basis, both in terms of young and mature wines.

Olivier's wine-making style and preference is to emphasise the fresh and the mineral side of his wines, and there is very little new wood in this cellar, with many wines with no new wood at all, and that is with the wines in 600 litre demi-muids rather that the classic Burgundy (225 litre) fût. Certainly Oliver's whites do have an arrow-like purity and intensity, and seem to age completely straight and true.

The reds are worth more than a casual mention too. Olivier has been getting some consultation help from Sylvain Pataille, and the wines have energy and bounce along with the supple tannins and ripeness.
