ProducerDomaine Hubert Lamy

The Lamy family has been working in the vineyards since 1640. Domaine Hubert Lamy was created by Hubert Lamy in 1973. Most of the development of the Domaine was during the 1990's when new vines were bought, rented and planted.  Some parcels which were planted with Pinot Noir vines were changed to Chardonnay vines because it was considered this was a better choice for the soil type (La Princée). Olivier Lamy, having first studied winemaking and commerce, joined the Domaine in 1995. Today the Domaine has 18.5 hectares of vines - 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, spread across several appellations - Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay.
