Domaine Hubert Lamy Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Gravières Blanc 2023

Domaine Hubert Lamy’s Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Gravières Blanc 2023 is a precise, terroir-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected domaines. Coming from a premier cru site in Santenay, it combines freshness, mineral definition, and the kind of quiet complexity that has made the region’s white wines so sought after.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale gold wine with bright clarity and a refined, energetic profile. The nose typically leans toward citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, and a subtle stony or chalky note, with the possibility of light hazelnut or brioche nuances as it opens. On the palate, it should feel focused and linear, balancing ripe Chardonnay fruit with vibrant acidity and a distinctly saline, mineral edge. The structure suggests good aging potential, with the wine likely gaining depth and texture over the next several years while preserving its freshness.

Production
Santenay’s premier cru vineyards are known for producing whites with tension, minerality, and a strong sense of place, especially when grown on well-drained limestone and gravel-rich soils. Domaine Hubert Lamy is known for careful vineyard work and attentive harvesting, aiming to preserve purity and precision in the fruit. Vinification is typically handled with restraint to let the site speak, often through gentle pressing, controlled fermentation, and aging in oak barrels with limited new oak influence. The result is a Chardonnay built more on detail and balance than overt richness.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, lobster, creamy poultry dishes, and fine mushroom preparations. It also works well with soft-ripened cheeses and elegant vegetable dishes. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C. Decanting is not usually necessary when young, though a short period in the glass can help the wine reveal its full aromatic range.
