2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge La Goujonne, Domaine Hubert Lamy
Burgundy, France
Bright ruby with a translucent edge, this Pinot Noir is a study in quiet confidence. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal mingle with subtle notes of spice, earth, and fine oak. The palate is graceful yet vibrant with pure red fruit gliding over silky tannins, lifted by bright acidity and a whisper of minerality. It’s delicate, detailed, and effortlessly drinkable, finishing long with a touch of savoury charm.
For when: the food’s simple, the company’s good, and the wine does the talking.
Pairs with: roast duck, charcuterie, or wild mushroom risotto.
If this wine were a voice, it’d speak softly, but everyone would listen.
From the ever-meticulous Olivier Lamy, this Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge comes from 50-year-old vines in La Goujonne, a site known for its fine red clay and limestone soils. Low yields, whole-bunch fermentation, and gentle oak ageing preserve the purity and perfume of the fruit, resulting in a wine that bridges grace and structure in true Lamy fashion.
About the 2023 Vintage in Burgundy:
2023 will be remembered as a season of balance and generosity. After a mild winter and an early budbreak, the year’s warmth was moderated by well-timed rain, allowing fruit to ripen evenly without excess. The reds show vivid colour, supple tannins, and beautifully fresh acidity, capturing the essence of modern Burgundy: approachable yet structured, aromatic yet precise. For many growers, it’s a vintage that bridges immediacy and longevity which is a rare combination that makes 2023 an instant classic.

- Winemaking
Founded in 1973 by Hubert Lamy and now led by his son Olivier Lamy, this family domaine has become one of Burgundy’s most respected and dynamic producers. Based in Saint-Aubin, Domaine Hubert Lamy cultivates around 18 hectares of vineyards across Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay with vines averaging 40 to 60 years of age.
Olivier Lamy is renowned for his meticulous vineyard work and minimalist philosophy: high-density planting, hand harvesting, wild-yeast fermentations and restrained oak use define his precise, terroir-driven wines. Whites are known for their cut-glass tension, minerality, and purity, while the reds, particularly from sites like La Goujonne, show silken fruit, finesse and quiet power.
In recent years, the domaine has become a benchmark for Saint-Aubin, with wines that regularly rival those from its more famous neighbours in Puligny and Chassagne. Critics from Vinous, Decanter and Jasper Morris MW consistently rank Lamy’s bottlings among the Côte de Beaune’s finest, describing them as “thrilling, finely chiselled and profoundly expressive of place.”
On arrival at the winery, the red grapes are sorted. We retain a proportion of whole bunches ranging from 50% to 100%, depending on the terroir and the vintage. Maceration lasts around 15 days. Punch-downs and pump-overs are carried out judiciously according to the characteristics of the vintage.
The wines are then aged in barrels that are between 1 and 10 years old. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel. The wines are racked in September.
Bottling takes place after 24 months of maturation.
