Domaine Hubert Lamy Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Haute Densité 1.5L MAGNUM 2018

This is a magnum of Domaine Hubert Lamy's Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots, from a parcel planted at around 27,000 vines per hectare, close to three times the usual density.

Domaine Hubert Lamy is based at Saint-Aubin and farms 18.5 hectares, four-fifths of it Chardonnay, under Olivier Lamy. Les Tremblots is a very small holding of about a tenth of a hectare on the southern edge of Puligny-Montrachet where the commune meets Chassagne, below Bâtard-Montrachet, lying at roughly 230 metres on almost flat ground of limestone marl studded with white pebbles. The high-density planting, from massal selection, is the point of the cuvée: with the vines set this close together each carries only a small crop and the roots compete for what the soil holds. Farming is organic in practice, with Guyot Poussard pruning and hand de-budding. The fruit is pressed and settled overnight, ferments with ambient yeast, and is raised for an average of two years on lees in 300- and 600-litre barrels, mostly used, followed by six months in tank.

The magnum slows all of that down again, so give it a decade or more; serve at 10-12°C with roast poultry, scallops or gruyère.
