Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Blanc 1er Cru "Les Frionnes" 2019

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Blanc 1er Cru "Les Frionnes" 2019
The 2019 Frionnes exemplifies Olivier Lamy’s ability to marry vintage depth with precision. From 50-year-old vines on limestone scree, this premier cru balances ripe orchard fruit and lemon oil with crushed rock tension. Raised in large-format barrels without new oak, it delivers a textured yet crystalline expression of Saint-Aubin’s rising-star terroirs.
