Description
What kind of wine is it
Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint Aubin 1er Cru Blanc Les Frionnes is a still wine that showcases Chardonnay in its purest form. An expression of the Saint-Aubin terroir, it appears in the glass with a straw yellow colour enhanced by golden highlights. The bouquet reveals elegant floral aromas and notes of sweet spices, which precede a palate marked by a pronounced mineral structure and a long, persistent finish. Excellent when served at a temperature of 10–12 °C, it boasts an ageing potential of between five and ten years. It is ideal for pairing with cheese, white meats, lean fish and vegetarian dishes.
Where does it come from
This Premier Cru originates in France, in the renowned Burgundy region, in the area of Saint-Aubin. It is produced by Hubert Lamy, a historic estate with family roots dating back to 1640 and established as a domaine in 1973. Of the approximately eighteen hectares under vine, the estate favours the cultivation of Chardonnay, alongside Pinot Noir. In the 1990s, the estate was expanded with new plantings and targeted acquisitions, consolidating its presence and defining a clear identity for the area's white wines.
How is it produced
The production of this label aims to best enhance Chardonnay from the Les Frionnes cru. Since 1995, agronomic and cellar methods have been adopted to achieve ever greater technical precision. By analysing the suitability of the soils, some plots originally planted with Pinot Noir have been converted to white grapes to suit their geological characteristics. The result is a glass with a delicate yet structured palate, capable of ensuring excellent evolution over time while preserving the elegance of the fruit.
History and Curiosities
Rooted in Burgundy since 1640, the Lamy family established the current estate in 1973. Led by Olivier Lamy, the estate enhances the terroir by focusing on Chardonnay. From this constant pursuit of excellence comes the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes 2023, a vintage of great distinction. This elegant still white wine captivates with its delicate floral aromas and notes of sweet spices, revealing on the palate a persistent minerality ideal for accompanying vegetarian dishes, cheeses, and white meats.

Most of the development of the Domaine was during the 1990's when new vines were bought or rented (Clos de la Chatenière, Derrière Chez Edouard, Murgers des dents de Chien, Clos du Meix, Santenay Clos des Hâtes) or planted (En Remilly). Some parcels which were planted with Pinot Noir vines were changed to Chardonnay vines because it was considered this was a better choice for the soil type (La Princée).
Olivier Lamy, having first studied winemaking and commerce, joined the Domaine in 1995. Prior to joining his father he did training courses in several other Domaines and tasted wines from all over the world. With this experience he was able to bring new ideas and new methods of working in the vines and in the cellar.
Today the Domaine has 18.5 hectares of vines - 80 % in Chardonnay and 20 % in Pinot Noir. Read more
