Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc

A touch of reduction calls for some significant swirling and air to coax fresh lemon juice, crunchy yellow pear, white melon, and white travertine notes from the glass. Direct and a little strict,…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc

I was hoping for a bit more energy and tension here. Unfortunately, this might have been my least favorite in the lineup, mostly due to the simplicity of flavor and a more dialed-back display of…

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite

Slight reduction at first, with a stony, white rock and high riding white/yellow fruit core that presents as fairly strict throughout. Thinner mid-palate, with the mineral elements dominating over…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere Blanc Vieilles Vignes

Drinking nicely now, and held up over two days with solid persistence. Some riper and deeper yellow pear and lemon flavors show a little aging and the roundness of the vintage, but the acidity is…

Joseph Colin Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc

Lemon and lime, and even some petrol notes, make for a refreshing profile that comes off overly juvenile but still full of verve and energy. Hold for a few years minimum.

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Blanc

With a markedly penetrating and borderline-shrill entry, the teeth clattering acidity subsides enough to allow vibrant and pure yellow citrus flavors to burst on the palate with verve and slaphappy…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere Blanc Vieilles Vignes

Though not as strikingly brilliant as previous performances, this bottle still had a nice uptick of energy and tension, with chalky minerality jump-roping with the white and higher-register yellow…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc

Bright and electric, with searing and near teeth-clattering acidity, the En Remilly is so vibrant and shining that it almost hurts to take it down now. Yet, with flavors so pure and distinct, you…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere Blanc Vieilles Vignes

Continue to hold for a few years. A two hour decant expanded the flavors and allowed the salty and chalky white and higher-riding yellow fruit to deepen. Excellent energy and intensity. Try to hold…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Blanc

Fresh squeezed lemon juice flavors perform a high wire act with lemon seed, substitute teacher's chalk eraser, crunchy yellow pear, green apple flesh, and white melon rind notes. Though the delivery…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Blanc

Nearly identical to the 2017, this current installment of Edouard is clean, crisp, and a straight-laced square. White melon rind, unripe yellow citrus, sea salt, and fossilized rock lay the path for…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere Blanc Vieilles Vignes

Lemon, lime, and grapefruit juice, lemon zest, crunchy yellow pear and peach, sea salt, white pumice, tonic, and clam shell notes all make for beautifully layered waves of flavor, expanding with a…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere Blanc Vieilles Vignes

A great combination of zip and lively concentration. Lemon juice and pith, yuzu, white peach, unripe pear, and white rock. The VV aspect seems to help with the experience of depth. Refreshing and…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Blanc

Much in similar line with the Frionnes, the Chez Edouard offering is fairly strait-laced and direct at the moment. A steady vibrancy throughout delivery makes for an appealing white melon rind and…

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Blanc

Lemon seed, green apple, and chalk make up the core of this taut and linear representation of St.-Aubin. Though there is decent energy and zip here, it currently misses the mark on that extra layer…
