Hubert Lamy, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge La Goujonne 2022
Variety: Pinot Noir
Produced by a family with a history dating back to 1640, this wine has quite the story. Today, Olivier Lamy guides the family estate into the limelight with the hand of a winemaker who has been trained by tradition to produce world-class wines every year. Before taking the reins of the family estate from his father Hubert in 1996, Olivier learned from his family while also spending time with Méo-Camuzet, a sought-after name by many collectors. Olivier stopped selling fruit to local négociants in 1997, choosing instead to divest underperforming sites and focus only on his best parcels. This decision left 16.5 hectares in the estate’s holdings today, and the quality is the best it has ever been.
A small 1 hectare plot in the middle of a village, La Goujonne's dense clay soils were planted by Lamy's grandfather over 65 years ago. 50% whole cluster with a prolonged elevage, lasting over two winters in barrel. & minimal SO2 additions only at bottling lend a precision & old vine charm.
Sadly, Lamy will lose the lease in 2025.
