A Benchmark White Burgundy: Saint-Aubin 1er Cru ‘Derrière Chez Édouard’

Domaine Hubert Lamy’s Saint-Aubin 1er Cru ‘Derrière Chez Édouard’ is a superb example of modern, high-quality white Burgundy. Olivier Lamy’s commitment to High Density planting yields a wine of profound depth and mineral intensity, offering a serious alternative to the grander, more expensive Crus of the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Bright, pale gold.
• Nose: Elegant and expressive, showing a core of vibrant citrus and crisp pear, lifted by delicate white floral notes and a sophisticated undercurrent of grilled nuts and flinty minerality.
• Palate: Superbly balanced, the palate is immediately taut and energetic, often described as ‘chiselled’. The concentration is impressive, driven by a brilliant, persistent acidity that leads to a very long, precise finish. A wine of immense quality that will reward cellaring.

Food Pairing & Serving

This sophisticated Chardonnay is best served with complex poultry or fish dishes. Serve at a cool cellar temperature (12-14°C) to appreciate its tension and depth. It will develop beautifully over 5-10 years in the bottle.
