Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

93 WA / 91 JM

The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is one of the more reserved wines in the range, unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange zest, confit citrus, crisp yellow apple and white flowers. It's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with racy acids and a long, saline finish. Forget it for the better part of a decade in the cellar and reap the rewards, even if it will be approachable sooner.--William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Made from vines of all ages, planted between 1935 and 2011. Lemon and lime colour. The bouquet shows a complex floral character, racy on the palate before deepening, perhaps as the old vines kick in. Some youthful bitterness. A little bit more hidden today but with considerable potential. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: November 2022.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
