Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité 2023

The 2023 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard Haut Densité 1er Cru comes from vines planted at 22,000 per hectare that, Lamy explained, need to extract less water—two times less—from the soil in order to ripen the berries. It has an intense sea caves and oyster shell-scented bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is tensile and driven by its mineral core on the entry, with fine weight and depth and a precise nervous finish that gets the saliva flowing. Superb.
