A great introduction to Olivier's wines, picked at a natural 13.5%, with good acidity and no new oak, this is ripe, rich and has a good full depth of fruit - expressive and already delicious. Drinking range: 2019 - 2023 L&S (Jul 2018)

A pretty and airy nose features notes of cool citrus, floral and a mix of white orchard fruit. The succulent, round and delicious middle weight flavors possess good vibrancy and a subtle minerality that really makes itself apparent on the clean, dry and unusually complex finale for a wine of this level. Recommended. Drinking range: 2021 - Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2019)

The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc Les Chatagnière is a little reduced on the nose making it difficult to read. The palate is well balanced with light pear and green apple notes and a fresh malic finish. Fine. Drinking range: 2020 - 2024 Rating: 85-87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2019)

Ripe and rich, full indeed, but citrus on the finish.Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Dec 2018)

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.
