Hubert Lamy Saint Aubin Blanc ''Clos de la Chateniere'' 2018

(91-93) pts Wine Advocate

The 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière bursts with aromas of waxy citrus rind, yellow orchard fruit, clear honey and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, round and textural, it's layered and enveloping, with fine concentration and a long, saline finish. Lamy notes that his old vines in this lieu-dit (which is warmer than, for example, Derrière chez Edouard) tend to produce lots of small, shot berries.

90 pts Vinous

The 2018 Saint-Aubin Clos de la Chatenière 1er Cru has an earthy/loamy nose, tilled soils and white flowers, background aromas of shucked oyster shell. It remains very closed on the palate, though there is fine acidity and it feels concentrated and phenolic on the gooseberry and kiwi fruit-themed finish.
