It’s a genuine \u003ci\u003eclos\u003c\/i\u003e surrounded by dry-stone walls, sitting within the larger \u003ci\u003eChatenière\u003c\/i\u003e vineyard in Saint-Aubin. Lamy has 1.25 hectares here, and the vines are 60 years old. \u003ci\u003eChatenière\u003c\/i\u003e is a high, steep, south-facing vineyard set just back and around the bend from \u003ci\u003eEn Remilly\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLes Murgers des Dents de Chien\u003c\/i\u003e. It is worked entirely by hand because of the vineyard’s 40% slope and incredibly rocky soils. For all intents and purposes, this is a monopole, as Lamy is the only grower able to bottle a separate wine from here and label it accordingly. Colin-Morey is the only other grower with a small parcel, which he blends into his \u003ci\u003eLa Chatenière\u003c\/i\u003e bottling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe gradient and south-facing aspect of \u003ci\u003eClos de la Chatenière\u003c\/i\u003e ensure the vines receive plenty of light. At the same time, the rocky, limestone-rich soils (20cm of rocky topsoil over hard, compact limestone) give the wines a piercing minerality that perfectly offsets the low-yielding intensity. The 2022 is a finer, more ethereal example of this vineyard, with great harmony between the fruit and mineral elements of its persona and a finish that is rocky, powdery and sculpted as though from rock. In short, a great \u003ci\u003eClos de la Chatenière!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eBill Nanson (Burgundy Report)\u003c\/span\u003e - “A smaller nose – fresh, pure and of depth – just smaller but also a little floral. Wider and more intense in the mouth – again a chiselled wine like the Remilly but with extra finishing intensity – that’s so mouth-watering in the finish – I love that – finishing chalky. Keep it 2-3 years before attacking – bravo!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e94+ Points, William Kelley (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/span\u003e - “The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière is showing brilliantly, offering up aromas of pear, orange oil, toasted hazelnuts and warm stones. Medium to full-bodied, dense and satiny, with a layered core of fruit, chalky structuring extract and a long, precise finish, I sometimes think that this cuvée—from old, virused vines in one of Saint-Aubin's most historic terroirs for Chardonnay—is one of the most underrated in Lamy's range.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethereal Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46080510165147,"sku":"","price":490.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2548\/4596\/files\/chatenieres.png?v=1739766905","url":"https:\/\/ethereal-wines.myshopify.com\/products\/2022-domaine-hubert-lamy-saint-aubin-1er-cru-clos-de-la-chateniere-vieilles-vignes","provider":"Ethereal Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
