Finer than all the 'normal' cuvées, a closer texture and greater energy. Citrussy element from recent fermentation. This is super-impressive, with really lovely acidity and length. L&S (Oct 2019)

When I visited in early December, Lamy told me that his 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Haut Densité had fermented especially slowly, and it was correspondingly reticent on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, intense and searingly incisive, with massive reserves of concentration and structuring dry extract, its potential, however, was impossible to miss on the palate. Fortunately, for a wine like this, tasting notes are somewhat academic, as readers will know to buy any of Lamy's Haut Densité wines that they are offered and ask questions later, but I will try to revisit this from bottle in due course.

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.
