2019 Domaine Hubert Lamy Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chaumées"

Hubert Lamy founded Domaine Hubert Lamy in 1973, after working with his father for many years. At the time, this estate consisted of only a few hectares, mainly regional appellations. The domain has developed considerably since the 1990s. Think of new vines that were bought or rented such as: Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Clos de la La Chatenière”, “Derrière chez Edouard”, “Murgers des Dents de Chien”, “Clos du Meix”, Santenay “Clos de Hâtes”, Santenay 1er “Cru Clos des Gravières” and Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Chaumées”. New vines were also planted in Saint-Aubin 1er cru “En Remilly”.

After studying viticulture and wine marketing, Olivier Lamy completed several internships at the top estates in France. He joined his father in 1995. He brought new ideas with him, which he tested both in the vineyard and in the barrel room, with Hubert Lamy as the guarantor of traditions. Karine joined Olivier in 2005 to take care of the administrative and commercial aspects. Today, the estate covers 18.5 hectares, of which 85% is Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir. They produce around 100,000 bottles per year and export their bottles to 33 countries worldwide.

We are in Chassagne Montrachet at the 1er Cru Les Chaumées. The vines in this vineyard were planted in 1989 and 1970. Hubert Lamy owns 0.23 hectares in this 1er Cru and makes only Chardonnay here. Hubert Lamy's yield was reduced by frost in 2019, averaging around 25 hectoliters per hectare. William Kelley is critical of the 2019 wines but wrote: "It is hard to think of anyone in the Côte d'Or who understood the potential of the vintage in Chardonnay better than Olivier Lamy".
