One of the most authentic expressions of Saint-Aubin 1er Cru, where Hubert Lamy captures the subtle balance between Burgundian elegance and energy. “Clos du Meix” is a small, enclosed monopole parcel that gives the wine its remarkable purity, tension, and longevity. This cuvée highlights ‘Chardonnay’s’ ability to express terroir nuances — from the limestone freshness to the refined texture in the glass.
The aroma reveals a blend of fresh apples and yellow peaches, accented by nutty nuances and a delicate smoky minerality. On the palate, the wine shows intensity, restrained structure, and a long, persistent finish.
The “Clos du Meix” parcel is a monopole (exclusively owned by the domaine), covering 0.7 hectares, planted between 1985 and 1995, located in the southern part of Saint-Aubin, at the base of the slope on limestone-clay soils with scattered stones. These geological conditions endow the wine with clean minerality and aging potential, allowing the grapes to mature slowly and gracefully.
Serve at 10–12 °C with butter-fried sea scallops, rabbit fillet with white mushroom sauce, or mature Beaufort cheese.
Humbert Lamy is a young and rapidly rising Burgundian winemaker based in the village of Saint-Aubin, near Chassagne-Montrachet. Although his first bottles appeared only recently, they immediately caught the attention of both sommeliers and collectors for their precision, clarity of style, and exceptional sensitivity to terroir.
After studying at the Beaune viticulture school and gaining experience in several prestigious domaines, Humbert decided to pursue his own vision – crafting wines that capture the essence of the Saint-Aubin and Chassagne landscapes through classical Burgundian aesthetics combined with a modern, thoughtful approach.
At the heart of Humbert Lamy’s philosophy lies respect for terroir and natural balance. His vineyards are farmed using organic and biodynamic methods, with no herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. His goal is not to shape the wine, but to let it speak for itself.
Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, and oak is used with great restraint – only 15–25 % new barrels, aimed at adding subtle texture rather than overt flavor. Maturation usually lasts 12–18 months, allowing the wines to evolve naturally and unfiltered.
Humbert Lamy’s wines are defined by purity, elegance, and precision.
His white wines, made from ‘Chardonnay’, display crystalline minerality, a gentle creamy texture, floral and citrus aromas, and perfectly integrated oak.
The red wines, produced from ‘Pinot Noir’, reveal a delicate aromatic profile, balancing red-berry freshness, herbal nuances, and silky tannins. These are wines that are pleasurable in their youth, yet possess impressive ageing potential.
The domaine cultivates several prestigious parcels in Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet, passed down through generations.
Among them stand out:
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly – an elevated site often described as the most Chassagne-like of the Saint-Aubin crus.
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées – known for imparting structure and longevity to the wines.
Puligny-Montrachet Les Trezin – noted for its refined elegance, floral lift, and saline minerality.
Bourgogne Blanc Les Charmes – a benchmark expression of the domaine’s signature balance and style.
These vineyards, acquired and tended since the late 19th century, give Humbert Lamy’s wines a distinct terroir identity and the beauty of contrast – from cool, high-altitude slopes to sun-soaked southern exposures.
One of the greatest strengths of Humbert Lamy’s wines lies in their balance between approachability and potential.
Both the white and red wines have a clear, focused style, making them enjoyable when young, yet they continue to develop complexity, depth, and aromatic harmony over five to ten years.
The Premier Cru wines, especially En Remilly and Les Chaumées, show remarkable capacity for ageing while maintaining vibrant acidity and the subtle refinement of classic Burgundy.
