Tasting notes
The 2016 Saint Aubin Clos de la Chatenière ler Cru has a lovely generous bouquet with beeswax and honeysuckle, light apricot aromas and a faint smear of vanilla. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear towards the finish with a citric bite that urges you back for another sip. What a great white Burgundy from Olivier Lamy.

The 2016 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière, which originates from a parcel with a more southerly exposure compared to others farmed by Olivier Lamy, has a clean and precise bouquet with white peach, orange pith and subtle aniseed scents. The palate is very well balanced with more depth and fruit intensity than the Les Frionnes, touches of tangerine and white peach laced with bitter lemon, leading to a harmonious and quite long finish. Excellent.
