Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité 2020

Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière chez Edouard Cuvée Haute Densité comes from 0.7 hectares planted at 30,000 vines per hectare and yields a single barrel.

This is the most extreme expression of Olivier Lamy's high-density experiment. The parcel was planted twenty years ago with vines spaced around thirty centimetres apart in one-metre rows, a density roughly three times the Burgundian norm. At that spacing Lamy typically gets a maximum of three tiny clusters per vine, sometimes one and sometimes none, and the entire plot produces only enough juice to fill one barrel. The trials have produced wines quite unlike his conventionally planted cuvées, which is why he has rolled the programme out to Les Tremblots in Puligny at 22,000 vines per hectare and to his sliver of Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet at 24,000. Distributor allocations rarely run to more than a case or two, and the wines are seldom even tasted in the cellar.

Built to age; give it five years and drink over twenty. Serve at 10–12°C with lobster, turbot or aged Comté.
