Long admired by insiders, Domaine Hubert Lamy has become a reference point for some of the most precise and mineral white wines of the Cote de Beaune. Led by Olivier Lamy, the estate is particularly celebrated for its wines from Saint-Aubin, where rocky limestone soils lend striking tension, clarity and finesse. From sites bordering Puligny-Montrachet, these wines deliver comparable precision with a distinctly cooler, more saline profile.
Since taking over the family domaine in 1995, Olivier has narrowed the focus to the finest vineyard parcels, ending negociant sales and prioritising old vines and meticulous viticulture. Early experience alongside Henri Jayer and at Domaine Meo-Camuzet exposed Olivier to a level of rigour that was still rare in the Cote de Beaune at the time. The learnings from this invaluable experience have informed a rigorous, quality-first approach that was ahead of its time in the Cote de Beaune.
In the vineyard, Lamy has been a pioneer of haute densite planting in Saint-Aubin, favouring very high vine densities to moderate vigour, increased shading, and the preservation of freshness in warmer seasons. This demanding approach, combined with meticulous manual work, underpins the tension and mineral clarity that define the domaine’s wines.
In the cellar, elevage in large-format barrels preserves purity and mineral expression, while subtle refinements in pressing and extraction enhance texture and structure without excess weight. The resulting wines are defined by tension, minerality and quiet authority, built for both early brilliance and graceful evolution in bottle. Production remains small, and allocations are tightly held.
