Good to Know: Domaine Hubert Lamy started in 1973 but developed greatly in the 1990s. Formerly, Pinot Noir were present in the vineyard but it has been replanted with Chardonnay as decided by Hubert Lamy.
The Bourgogne Blanc Les Chataigners has a fresh nose that combines the notes of grapefruit and green apples. It has a citrus zest with a high acidity level. A medium-full wine that is fresh and taut.
The nose opens with an inviting, detailed bouquet of crisp green apple, lemon zest, and orange pith, interwoven with white orchard blossoms, white peach, and a touch of gunflint minerality. On the palate, it is focused and vibrant, carrying a sleek, textured core of citrus and orchard fruit supported by a firm mineral backbone, lively acidity, and a clean, saline-driven finish. To complement its bright energy and chalky structure, pair this bottle with pan-seared scallops, roasted sea bass with lemon-butter sauce, goat cheese crostini, herb-roasted poultry, or fresh oysters on the half shell.
