Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2018 Domaine Hubert Lamy Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Blanc is one of the most celebrated premier cru white Burgundies in the Côte de Beaune. Olivier Lamy crafts this wine from high-density plantings perched directly adjacent to the Grand Crus of Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. As a result, it delivers extraordinary limestone tension, dry extract, and grand cru intensity.

The warm 2018 vintage brought ripe, expressive Chardonnay fruit while Lamy’s meticulous viticulture preserved vibrant acidity. In addition, aging in neutral demi-muid barrels adds texture without masking the terroir. Therefore, this bottling showcases chiselled mineral drive paired with generous white stone fruit.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

  • Aromatics: First, the bouquet reveals crisp green apple, white peach, and lemon blossoms. Soon after, aromas of struck match reduction, crushed chalk, toasted hazelnut, and wet stone emerge.
  • Palate: In addition, the palate is dry, electric, and densely packed with mineral extract. A saline core carries flavors of citrus oil and pear through a crystalline, mouthwatering finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, serve at 50°F–54°F (10°C–12°C) in broad white Burgundy glasses. Next, decant for 30 minutes to unlock its complex flinty layers.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its mineral energy and bright acidity, this Premier Cru Chardonnay matches fine seafood and poultry:

  • Seared sea scallops with brown butter and lemon
  • Pan-roasted turbot or Dover sole meunière
  • Butter-poached lobster tails or king crab
  • Roast Bresse chicken with creamy morel sauce

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

Hubert Lamy’s Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is widely considered Saint-Aubin’s finest plot, often rivaling neighboring Chevalier-Montrachet. While stunning today, this 2018 will continue to develop tertiary depth through 2036.
