The name of the parcel apparently comes from the name of a Roman family that once lived here. You learn something new at every visit! A slightly greener look than the Chatenière, more floral on the nose, round and just as sweet as the Chatenière, complex yellow fruit notes, very pretty. Excellent again. Drinking range: 2019 - L&S (Nov 2016)

The 2015 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has an exotic bouquet for this vineyard, featuring dried mango, hints of lychee and light passion fruit aromas. It is not unattractive but lacks terroir expression. The palate is fresh and spicy on the entry, displaying a fine bead of lively acidity and demonstrating impressive depth. There is more activity and personality in the mouth than on the nose, and the finish fans out with hints of orange peel and a touch of sour lemon. This is an En Remilly that you end up liking more and more with acquaintance. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 10 closure) Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 Rating: 91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2018)

Pale, bright yellow. Complex, vibrant aromas of lemon, lime, menthol, mint, white flowers and crushed rock. Tactile, slightly saline and spicy, with its brisk acidity and underlying minerality giving the fine-grained middle palate a slightly metallic quality. Showing less personality today than the Frionnes but this is very closed. Finishes adamantly dry, stony and austere for 2015, with piquant notes of lemon, lime and minerals. Lamy planned to bottle most of his 2015s in July but may wait another month for this one. Rating: 90-92 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Sept 2017)

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.
