2022 St. Aubin 1er Cru Derrière chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité, Hubert Lamy

2022 St. Aubin 1er Cru Derrière chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité, Hubert Lamy

Easily one of Burgundy’s most talked-about and fascinating wines, yet also one of its rarest, produced only in tiny quantities. It comes from a parcel high up in the hill, protected by a fringe of forest above, where Olivier has planted the vines at a density of 30,000 vines per hectare. That’s three times the density of your average Burgundy vineyard. The concentration this gives to the wines is hard to capture in words.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard "Haut Densité" 1er Cru has a fresh but tightly wound nose featuring hints of flint, shucked oyster shell and grassy meadow. The palate is beautifully balanced, vibrant, poised and focused, with a silver thread of acidity and just a slight honeyed note right on the finish. This is excellent.
