2022 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Saint Aubin Les Pucelles Magnum

Bottled in an indulgent magnum format, the 2022 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Saint-Aubin Les Pucelles offers a generous, finely detailed expression of white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s rising-star villages. This is a poised, terroir-driven wine that marries bright, energetic fruit with the subtle creaminess and minerality that Chardonnay lovers seek out in top Burgundies. Perfect for the table or the cellar, it’s a bottle designed for sharing and lingering over.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Saint-Aubin shows a pale to medium lemon hue with a youthful, crystalline brightness that hints at its freshness and vigor. The nose is inviting and precise, opening with notes of lemon zest, white peach and crisp pear, layered with hints of acacia blossom, chalk, and a touch of hazelnut and fresh cream from well-judged oak. On the palate, the wine is sleek yet mouthfilling, combining lively citrus and stone-fruit flavors with a fine, saline backbone. There’s a beautiful interplay between tension and texture: juicy Meyer lemon and green apple give way to riper peach, subtle brioche, and a discreet nuttiness. The finish is long, mineral and mouthwatering, suggesting good aging potential for a 2022, particularly in magnum. Enjoyable now for its purity and vibrancy, it should develop more layered complexity over the next 5–8 years, gaining additional depth and honeyed nuances with time.

Production
Sourced from the limestone-rich slopes of Saint-Aubin, Les Pucelles benefits from classic Côte de Beaune terroir: thin, stony soils over fractured limestone with good drainage and a relatively cool exposition that preserves acidity. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure optimal selection of bunches and to protect the fruit’s natural aromatics and freshness. In keeping with fine white Burgundy tradition, fermentation usually takes place in temperature-controlled conditions, often in French oak barrels, followed by élevage on the lees to build texture and complexity. The use of oak is generally restrained, allowing the tension, mineral character, and clarity of the Chardonnay to shine through rather than be dominated by wood.

Food & Serving
This magnum of Saint-Aubin Les Pucelles is a versatile partner at the table, shining alongside refined dishes such as seared scallops, poached turbot, grilled sea bass, or butter-roasted chicken with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with shellfish, sushi, creamy risottos and mild, bloomy-rind cheeses like Brie or Chaource. Serve at around 10–12 °C (50–54 °F) to bring out both its freshness and texture. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes in a cool environment can help the wine open up aromatically, especially in magnum, revealing more of its floral and nutty complexity.
