TN: 2013 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité

In splendid form. A touch of mineral reduction to the aroma, along with fresh lemon fruit, white peach, white flowers, mint and aniseed. It has Chevalier-like shape, with a high-tensile spine and layers of flavour. It is unctuous and precise, with great stony detail. It is rich, yet contained and has great cut and drive to the finish.

As always superb note, Jeremy!
I have some of the '14, which I have been holding. Do you think the “high density” takes a longer time to come around than their other plantings in St. Aubin?

They definitely do Joshua and that '14 is as tight as a grenouille’s derrière. Give it a few more years.

Thanks! (Don’t even want to think about the frog…)

This might be the very first time I hear a frog’s bum referred to as a grenouille’s derrière. Very poetic. It evokes a frog wearing knickers.

And here I was thinking Grenouille’s derrière was Valmur.
