St Aubin Derriere Chez Edouard Haute Densite•2021

Tension and precision define Hubert Lamy’s 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité, with tightly packed layers of green apple, lemon peel and white flowers wrapped around a cool, stony core. The palate is concentrated yet slender and vertical, driven by cutting acidity and a salty, lingering finish that currently feels more Puligny in character than classic Saint-Aubin. This is a serious, high-density bottling built for the cellar rather than immediate charm, promising far greater complexity with time.
