Citrus and pale stone fruit are carried by vivid acidity, chalky minerality and a faintly smoky edge. There is impressive concentration beneath the wine’s slender frame, finishing long, saline and wonderfully energetic. A brilliant introduction to Olivier Lamy’s precise, quietly compelling style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou want the precision of serious white Burgundy without waiting for a grand occasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrilled scallops, sea bream ceviche, roast chicken, turbot with a light cream sauce, asparagus risotto or young Comté.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Princée is \u003cstrong\u003eOlivier Lamy\u003c\/strong\u003e’s portrait of Saint-Aubin rather than a single-vineyard wine, bringing together Chardonnay from ten parcels with different exposures around the village. Some are warmer and more sheltered, while others sit in cooler positions, creating a natural balance between fruit, texture and tension. The stony clay-limestone soils give the wine its distinctive mineral drive, while careful farming and patient cellar work preserve purity and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the 2024 Vintage in Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 growing season was one of Burgundy’s most demanding in recent years. Rain, frost, hail and intense mildew pressure greatly reduced the crop, requiring relentless work in the vineyards and rigorous selection at harvest. Warmer, drier conditions during August and September finally allowed the remaining grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuantities are limited, but the best white wines are beautifully balanced and refined. Lower alcohol, bright acidity and pure citrus fruit give the vintage a cool, classical character. In Saint-Aubin, the elevated limestone slopes produced Chardonnay with particular clarity, energy and mineral definition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Please Note: Wine arrives November 2026*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309387264385,"sku":null,"price":76.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023_Saint-Aubin_La_Princee_Domaine_Hubert_Lamy.png?v=1780417387","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2024-saint-aubin-la-princee-domaine-hubert-lamy","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
