Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Derriere Chez Edouard Blanc 1er Cru 2021 (750ML)

93 BH / 92+ WA / 92 JM

Tasting note: Decidedly cool and restrained aromas are comprised by notes of just sliced citrus and green apple along with hints of white flowers and wet stone. The gorgeously textured middleweight flavors are borderline painfully intense before culminating in a sleek, chiseled and dry finale that is noticeably less austere. This relatively powerful effort is very much built-to-age and a wine that will need at least 5 to 6 years of keeping first. Excellent. Outstanding.--Allen Meadows, Burghound

Chiseled and youthfully reductive, the 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard unwinds in the glass with notes of pear, citrus zest, dried white flowers, hazelnuts and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's deep and electric, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, scintillating finish.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Planted in 2001 at 14,000 vines per hectare and a few at 30,000 which make up the Haute Densité version. Backward, tight, with little wavelets of pure white fruit. The 2021 Derriere Chez Edouard needs time to start showing the detail. The palate is a nice blend of pure limestone with a citrus wash. Graceful yet still electric. Drink from 2026-2031.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
