Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes 2019

Les Frionnes is a premier cru low on a south-east-facing slope north-east of Saint-Aubin, and the oldest vines in Lamy's parcel date from the 1930s.

Where En Remilly and Les Murgers des Dents de Chien lie on thin stone facing Puligny, Les Frionnes sits lower and on clay carrying fragments of Kimmeridgian limestone, which makes for a rounder wine that opens earlier. Lamy farms 2.36 hectares here, planted in stages between 1935 and 1985. Domaine Hubert Lamy was founded in 1973 and Olivier Lamy has run it since 1996, farming about 18.5 hectares by sustainable and organic means and covering most of the Saint-Aubin premiers crus. This cuvée is pressed, settled overnight and fermented on ambient yeasts, then aged around 24 months on its lees in 300- and 600-litre barrels with up to a quarter new wood, a higher proportion than much of the range, followed by six months in tank. It is bottled without fining, and filtered only if it needs it.

Drinking well within two or three years and good for six or more. Serve at 10-12°C with roast chicken, creamy pasta or a mild washed-rind cheese.
