An introduction to Hubert Lamy, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Derriere Chez Edouard Saint Aubin Cuvee Haute Densite, Burgundy

Harmand-Geoffroy produces the Cuvée Haute Densité from a tiny, notable parcel, Derrière Chez Edouard, in Saint-Aubin. This wine is a profound expression of Chardonnay, cultivated under the principles of high-density planting to encourage competition among vines, thereby intensifying the grapes' flavours and complexities. This meticulous approach to viticulture, combined with the unique microclimate and chalky soils of Saint Aubin, enables the production of a white wine that is both vibrant and richly textured. The Cuvée Haute Densité is a celebration of precision in winemaking, capturing the essence of its terroir with remarkable clarity.

Understanding Hubert Lamy, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Derriere Chez Edouard Saint Aubin Cuvee Haute Densite, Burgundy

The domaine's commitment to sustainable farming promotes soil health and vineyard biodiversity. The vinification process is equally thoughtful, with the use of indigenous yeasts and careful temperature control during fermentation to preserve the wine's inherent fruit qualities. Ageing in a combination of new and seasoned oak barrels imbues the Cuvée Haute Densité with a subtle complexity, enhancing its minerality and adding layers of texture. This Premier Cru features floral notes, citrus zest and flinty undertones in an intense, elegant palate. This rare wine has excellent ageing potential.
