Domaine Hubert Lamy : Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru "Les Chaumées" 2012

2012 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, Chardonnay, Burgundy.

The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Chaumées from Domaine Hubert Lamy comes from a Chardonnay vineyard cultivated halfway up the hill on a calcareous-clay soil, with a good East orientation. This 2012 vintage wine surprises by its lovely freshness. The name Chaumées refers to a land that stayed uncultivated for a long time before being farmed. This Burgundy displays a very pale colour that gives way to an aromatic finesse. The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Chaumées nose gives off fresh fruit notes enhanced by grilled and vanilla notes. The palate is round, strong and rich with a fresh finish.
