Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2019 Saint-Aubin l'Ebaupin is showing well, mingling aromas of pear, mandarin oil, peach, white flowers and nutmeg in an expressive mélange. Medium to full-bodied, layered and mineral, its fleshy core of fruit segues into a saline, mineral finish. Like all the Lamy-Caillat 2019s, I suspect it will pick up additional tension during another winter on the lees.
About the Producer
Domaine Lamy-Caillat is the secret garden of two passionate and talented bourguignons: Sébastien Caillat and Florence Lamy. This tiny estate of Lamy-Caillat and 1.2 hectares was founded in 2011 and rooted in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Lamy-Caillat when the couple took over vineyards from an elderly neighbor who was looking to find winegrowers that would take good care of these terroirs.While the Lamy-Pillot wines are crafted in an accessible style, the couple wanted to attempt something more artisanal and minimally processed with their micro-domaine. Artisanal winemaking and, above all, long élevage is what defines this domaine, with the wines spending two winters on the lees before bottling by hand after natural clarification. “Small plots, Great care” is the motto here.
