2023 Saint-Aubin La Princée, Domaine Hubert Lamy

“The Polished Rebel”

Pale lemon with green reflections, La Princée is the essence of modern Saint-Aubin, bright, pure, and quietly self-assured. Aromas of lemon zest, pear and white blossom intertwine with notes of crushed stone and chalk. The palate is taut yet silky, balancing vibrant citrus fruit with a subtle creaminess and a spine of shimmering minerality. Elegant, linear, and full of verve, it finishes long, cool and refreshingly precise.

For when: you want Chardonnay that speaks fluent elegance.
Pairs with: oysters, roast chicken, or creamy pasta with truffle.
If this wine were a person, it’d be effortlessly stylish, the kind who never needs to raise their voice.

Crafted by Olivier Lamy, La Princée is a blend of parcels from Saint-Aubin’s limestone slopes, expressing the village’s unique balance of energy and refinement. Hand-picked fruit, wild-yeast fermentation, and ageing in large, neutral oak preserve its crystalline character. The 2023 vintage captures the domaine’s trademark clarity: texture without weight, purity without austerity.
