Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Blanc "La Princée" 2020
Always a benchmark for the village, Lamy’s 2020 La Princée showcases Saint-Aubin’s rising stature with clarity and charm. From a mosaic of high-altitude parcels on limestone scree, this cuvée offers citrus blossom, green almond and crushed stone in a linear, pulsing frame. The cool sites and extended élevage give remarkable focus and drive in this sun-kissed vintage.
