The Lamy family has been working in the vineyards of Saint-Aubin in Burgundy since 1640. In 1973, after working with his father for many years, Hubert Lamy founded Domaine Hubert Lamy. At that time, the estate consisted of no more than 8 ha, mainly located in regional appellations. Today, the estate extends over 18.5 ha, of which 80% is Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, divided between the appellations of Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay. As for treatment against diseases and pests, they work "lutte raisonnée" or with integrated pest management: products that respect nature and are only used when necessary. For the last 10 years, no chemical fertilizers have been used in the vineyards, only organic compost.

The subsoil consists mainly of calcareous clay, with many stones and the vineyard for this This Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is located along the road from Gamay to St. Aubin and the vines were planted in 1935, 1960 and 1985. The vineyard is 2.4 ha in size. The harvest is done entirely by hand. The grapes are transported in small containers to prevent damage. The white grapes are pressed very gently. The last press juice as well as the juice of the young grapes are vinified separately, so that only the very best part is used for the AOC wines. After 12 to 18 hours, the solid cloudy parts of the must are separated (this gives a fresher and livelier wine) and the wines are fermented in barrels of 228 liters. The fermentation takes a very long time, approx. 90 days. The barrels are originally Vosges, Troncais or Allier, 20% new. Bottling takes place in September, after clarification and very gentle filtering.
