Domaine Hubert Lamy Santenay Clos des Hates 2023
The 2023 Santenay “Clos des Hâtes” Rouge from Domaine Hubert Lamy is a rare and refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s cooler southern villages. While Santenay is often overlooked compared to its northern neighbors, Lamy’s meticulous biodynamic practices and gentle winemaking reveal the site’s elegance, freshness, and fine mineral backbone.
Technical Notes
- Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
- Appellation: Santenay AOC, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy
- Vineyards: “Clos des Hâtes,” upper-slope limestone and clay soils; mature vines
- Farming: Biodynamic and organic; hand-harvested, low yields
- Vinification: Native yeast fermentation; partial whole-cluster inclusion; aged in neutral French oak barrels; bottled unfined and unfiltered
- Alcohol: ~13% ABV
Terroir
The Clos des Hâtes vineyard sits on limestone-clay soils with excellent drainage, producing Pinot Noir grapes of concentration and aromatic clarity. The slightly higher altitude and cooler microclimate lend freshness, precision, and fine-grained tannins, making this wine a superb representation of Santenay’s potential.
Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage opens with aromas of red cherry, cranberry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, with hints of earth and subtle spice. The palate is silky, focused, and medium-bodied, showing flavors of red fruit, pomegranate, and lightly roasted herbs, supported by precise acidity and refined tannins. The finish is long, mineral, and vibrant, balancing elegance with depth.
Domaine Hubert Lamy’s Santenay “Clos des Hâtes” Rouge 2023 is a terroir-driven Pinot Noir of finesse, energy, and sophistication. Perfect with roasted poultry, duck, or earthy mushroom dishes, it offers immediate pleasure while also rewarding short-term aging over the next 5–8 years.
