2015 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly- France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru (1/24/2021)
Very focused expressive nose displaying ripe yet pure white and yellow fruit, peat, apple, lemon curd, a hint of pineapple, honeysuckle, saline and crushed rock. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of succulent ripe yet pure white and yellow fruit, dense, rich and oily yet also very precise and focused, mouth puckering acidity, strong crushed rock mineral, and a long ripe yet pure concentration white and yellow fruit driven finish with honeysuckle and crushed rock at the end. Much more pronounced acidity and mineral compare to the last bottle from 6/7/2019 which gives better precision and balance. The pure yet rich fruit reminds me PYCM but no matchstick or flint. Perhaps lacking the finesse and complexity of Chevalier or Batard but it is such a pleasure to drink. (94 pts.)
These have, understandably but disappointingly, really shot up in price. Nothing stays a good value in white Burgundy for very long. This wine (from any vintages) now runs $75-140 on WSPro.
I do still have one 2013 left, which I think I bought for around $40-something.
Chris, I haven’t touched my ‘17s yet, but given that it is such an excellent vintage I would expect it to be young, but very good with a good acis back bone. I tend to pop’n’ pour into large Extreme Chardonnay glasses and watch the wine unfold.
Another data point - opened a 2015 Lamy Derriere Chez Edouard Haute Densite which was right on form. Good richness with an extra degree of minerality. There really are some exceptional '15 WBs and from what I have seen recently it is not a vintage to over look.
