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.
Located in the prestigious 1er Cru region of Santenay, Les Hâtes is known for its exceptional terroir. Lamy's small 0.67-hectare vineyard is situated within the heart of this renowned climat, surrounded by ancient walls. Interestingly, the property was once owned by M. Duvault-Blochet in the 19th century, who also held Domaine de la Romanée-Conti during that period.
The majority of the grapes used in production come from young vines, which were carefully selected in 1999 from renowned vineyards such as d’Angerville and Henri Boillot. These young vines are planted on high-quality rootstock, resulting in the production of very small berries and bunches. Additionally, there is a section of older vines on the property.
The 2020 vintage was crafted using 50% whole bunches during vinification, with no sulfur added until bottling. This meticulous process ensures the highest quality wines are produced from this exceptional terroir.
