Description

Sourced from just under three hectares, La Princée is composed of fruit from 10 meticulously farmed village parcels. Approximately one-third of the vines are over 60 years old, with the remainder planted in 1985 and 2000.

All lie within the cooler, east-facing slopes of the Saint-Aubin combe, where chalk soils impart precision and tension.

This is a finely etched, energetic white Burgundy, its limestone backbone and layered complexity delivering a sophistication that surpasses many wines at twice the price.

UNCORK THE EXTRAORDINARY

“ The 2022 Saint-Aubin La Princée offers up notes of apple blossom, crisp orchard fruit and wet stones, followed by a medium-bodied, pure and racy palate that's fresh but charming. This will offer a broad drinking window. “

Olivier Lamy and his vines appear to have handled the 2022 growing season admirably, despite the hydric deficit and warm conditions. This is an estate whose wines have generally demanded a bit of patience out of the gates, yet the 2022s are especially charming, exhibiting a youthful expressiveness and sense effortless this year that makes them especially appealing.

Bottling under Diam 30, with concomitantly somewhat lower levels of free sulfites, surely has something to do with it. But it's probably also simply the result of over two decades' work coming together in a seamless synthesis.

Whether it's cutting-edge viticulture, including plantings at over 20,000 vines per hectare and unhedged canopies; extended maturation on the lees, which now amounts to 24 months in total, 23 of those in largely neutral wood; obsessive attention to closures and bottling practices; or a host of other small details that, cumulatively, make the difference between the best and the rest, Lamy has spared nothing to get to where he is today.

While his ultra-rare Haute Densité bottlings are now almost impossible to source, readers will still find it easy to secure his more modest cuvées. Everything here comes warmly recommended. William Kelley

"Made in a mix of older wood. Equally pale in colour alongside the Bourgogne Blanc. Rather reductive with a light almond paste showing on the nose. This is very tight, rather understated, with an emphasis on the limestone. Compact, yet with the potential to expand. Drink from 2026-2032.
