Description
The 2022 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard “Haut Densité” 1er Cru has a fresh but tightly wound nose featuring hints of flint, shucked oyster shell and grassy meadow. The palate is beautifully balanced, vibrant, poised and focused, with a silver thread of acidity and just a slight honeyed note right on the finish. This is excellent.

Olivier Lamy and I tasted in his new tasting room, which is far more comfortable than a day in the cellar. Before we broached in 2022s, not 2023s, since he sells the vintage that is in bottle, we went out onto the balcony where he gave me a potted guide to the climats that surround the village of Saint-Aubin and their respective soil types. “In 2022, it was drier in Saint-Aubin,” he tells me, “but we enjoy good water retention due to clayey soils.
I found that the season produced smaller grapes. I started to pick on August 25 and for the reds, I used around two-thirds whole cluster. The wines were bottled in July and August.” It goes without saying that Lamy has become the most reputed winemaker in Saint-Aubin, his Haut-Densité and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet selling for a princely sum due to an active secondary market. However, there is plenty to savour amongst his Village and Premier Crus that are more friendly on the wallet.
