Domaine Hubert Lamy Bourgogne Les Chataigners 2022

Domaine Hubert Lamy Bourgogne Les Chataigners 2022 is a refined white Burgundy that punches well above its humble appellation. Sourced from carefully tended parcels near Saint-Aubin, this Chardonnay showcases the precision, tension and mineral drive that have made the Lamy name a benchmark in the Côte de Beaune. It’s an ideal bottle for those seeking serious white Burgundy character without stepping into grand cru pricing.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Les Chataigners is a pale lemon-gold with green highlights, signaling freshness and youthful energy. The nose opens with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit—layered over green apple, white flowers, and a fine chalky minerality, with a subtle hint of almond and fresh bread dough in the background. On the palate, this is precise and linear, balancing ripe orchard fruit with a mouthwatering, saline backbone. Flavors of lemon, crisp pear, and green apple are supported by a fine, well-integrated acidity and a delicate creaminess from careful élevage. The finish is clean and persistent, marked by wet stone and a gentle nuttiness. Enjoy it now for its vibrancy, or cellar for 3–6 years to allow the texture and subtle complexity to deepen.

Production
Les Chataigners is drawn from cooler, limestone-rich parcels around Saint-Aubin, where thin soils over fractured limestone and marl give the wine its striking tension and mineral profile. Vines are farmed with great care, using sustainable, low-intervention methods and rigorous hand work in the vineyard to control yields and preserve fruit purity. Harvest is done by hand, with strict sorting of the bunches to ensure only the healthiest grapes make it to the cellar. Fermentation typically takes place in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, followed by élevage in a mix of older and a small proportion of newer oak to add texture without masking the terroir. The result is a Bourgogne Blanc with the structure and detail of a far more prestigious appellation.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for classic seafood and lighter dishes—think oysters, shellfish, grilled prawns, or simply prepared white fish with lemon and herbs. It also pairs beautifully with roast chicken, charcuterie, fresh goat’s cheese, and vegetable dishes featuring asparagus, fennel, or leeks. Serve at 10–12°C to highlight its aromatic range and mineral edge. A brief 15–30 minutes in the fridge before opening is usually ideal; for more complexity, you can decant gently for about 20 minutes to let the wine open up in the glass.
