Domaine Hubert Lamy Chassagne-Montrachet La Goujonne Vieilles Vignes 2022

Domaine Hubert Lamy Chassagne-Montrachet “La Goujonne” 2022 is a refined white Burgundy that captures the tension, minerality, and quiet power that has made the Côte de Beaune legendary. Sourced from a single, well-sited parcel in Chassagne-Montrachet, this cuvée balances precision with generosity, offering a crystalline expression of Chardonnay in a ripe but beautifully controlled vintage. It’s a wine for Burgundy lovers who appreciate both detail and depth in the glass.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 La Goujonne shows a pale to medium lemon color with glints of green, hinting at both youth and freshness. The nose opens with lifted aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and green apple, gradually revealing notes of ripe pear, stone fruit, and chalky minerality, supported by subtle toast, hazelnut, and a light creamy undertone from careful oak aging. On the palate, the wine is both taut and silky, with a bright line of acidity cutting through a supple, mid-weight texture. Citrus and orchard fruits lead—think lemon curd, fresh apple, and just-ripe peach—layered with crushed stone, a touch of salinity, and well-integrated oak spice. The finish is long and precise, marked by lingering minerality and a gentle almond note. While already approachable in its youth, this 2022 has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully over 6–10 years, gaining complexity and richness with time in bottle.

Production
La Goujonne sits on classic Chassagne-Montrachet limestone and clay soils, which lend both tension and depth to the Chardonnay fruit. The domaine works with careful vineyard husbandry, favoring low yields and precise canopy management to achieve optimal ripeness while preserving acidity. Harvest is typically carried out by hand, allowing for rigorous bunch selection directly in the vineyard. In the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is settled before fermentation, which usually takes place in French oak barrels, a portion of which is new but never dominant. The wine then ages on fine lees, with measured bâtonnage depending on the character of the vintage, to build texture and aromatic complexity while maintaining purity and minerality. Bottling is done with an eye toward minimal intervention to preserve the terroir-driven identity of the cuvée.

Food & Serving
This Chassagne-Montrachet pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, sole meunière, or roast chicken with morel cream sauce. It also shines alongside veal in light jus, creamy risottos, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or Beaufort. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its freshness, allowing the wine to warm slightly in the glass as it opens. For young bottles like the 2022, a short decant of 20–30 minutes, or simply opening the bottle in advance, can help the aromatics unfurl and bring all the layers into focus.

Producer
Domaine Hubert Lamy, based in Saint-Aubin in the Côte de Beaune, is widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s benchmark producers for precise, terroir-expressive Chardonnay. The Lamy family has been working the vines in this corner of Burgundy since the 17th century, with the modern domaine shaped by Hubert Lamy and now energetically driven by his son Olivier. Over the past few decades, the estate has gained a reputation for meticulous viticulture, thoughtful experimentation (including higher-density plantings), and an almost obsessive focus on expressing the nuances of each parcel. While historically best known for stunning wines from Saint-Aubin, the domaine’s work in neighboring appellations like Chassagne-Montrachet has cemented its status as a reference point in the region, frequently earning critical acclaim and a loyal following among serious Burgundy collectors.
