Hubert Lamy Santenay Clos des Hâtes

Only around 250 cases made.

Floral, precise, and surprisingly intense for a village Santenay — pure red fruit, a touch of orange rind, fine-grained tannins, and a mineral backbone drawn from limestone-clay soils.

Biodynamically farmed, native yeast, partial whole cluster, aged in neutral French oak, unfined, unfiltered — Olivier Lamy making wine the way Saint-Aubin taught him, applied now to Santenay's most quietly serious lieu-dit. Santenay is the appellation serious Burgundy drinkers discover when everywhere else gets too expensive.
