Winner of the Michelin Guide’s prestigious 3 Grapes, its highest honor, with the following remarks:
”Rounding out the array is Hubert Lamy (Saint-Aubin). One of the most influential estates in the Côte de Beaune, it was brought to international attention by Olivier Lamy, who took full control around 2000. The estate spans some 20 hectares, principally in Saint-Aubin, and culminating with a tiny parcel of Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet. Olivier Lamy has been a pioneer of high-density plantings, producing smaller, more concentrated grape clusters. The wines are precise, linear, and intensely mineral, with exceptional purity and aging capacity. The Haute Densité cuvées have become cult wines and are considered among the most accomplished white Burgundies produced today.” 07/07/2026

Domaine Hubert Lamy is one of the most sought-after white wine producers in all of Burgundy—production is minuscule, allocations are fiercely contested, and the wines rarely appear on the market at all. K&L has secured an allocation of the excellent 2023 vintage, available now on pre-arrival from $89.99 to $229.99, spanning Olivier Lamy's legendary St-Aubin 1er Crus plus Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Santenay.

What the critics are saying

"The quality of Lamy's 2023s is excellent and should you come across an offering for them, don't hesitate." — Allen Meadows, Burghound

"The 2023s — like the 2022s — are strikingly approachable, exhibiting a youthful expressiveness and sense of effortlessness this year that makes them especially appealing." — Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate

"There is no question but that Olivier Lamy is one of the handful of Burgundy's finest white wine makers. Few, if any, can match the scintillating minerality of his wines with the same degree of intensity. Bravo indeed!" — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"What can I say... there is a reason why Lamy's wines are so revered, why his tenets have become so influential in the Côte de Beaune. That reason is there in the bottles." — Neal Martin, Vinous

Patience as philosophy

Domaine Hubert Lamy is often one of the last estates to release its wines, preferring patience over expediency and allowing critics to evaluate the wines only from bottle rather than barrel. The result is a level of consistency and confidence that few producers in Burgundy can match. Year after year, Olivier Lamy crafts some of the most compelling, terroir-driven white wines in the world, and the 2023 vintage is no exception.

Combining the hallmark precision, tension, and scintillating minerality that have made the domaine legendary with an unusual degree of youthful charm and accessibility, the 2023s are immediately captivating. From the electric energy of the St-Aubin 1er Crus to the depth of the Chassagne and Puligny bottlings, this collection shows why Hubert Lamy remains one of the most influential and revered names in Burgundy.

Production is minuscule, allocations are fiercely contested, and demand continues to far outpace supply. Rarely available and always sought after, these are wines that belong in every serious white Burgundy collection. If you have the opportunity to secure a few bottles, our advice is simple: follow Allen Meadows' recommendation—don't hesitate.

FAQs

Why are Hubert Lamy wines so hard to find?
The domaine farms roughly 18 hectares with tiny yields—a deliberate choice central to Olivier Lamy's philosophy—and global demand vastly exceeds production. Most bottles are allocated to long-standing customers before the wines are even released, which is why pre-arrival offers like this one are often the only opportunity to buy.

What is Olivier Lamy known for?
Olivier Lamy is regarded as one of Burgundy's most influential white winemakers, famous for pioneering high-density planting (up to 30,000 vines per hectare in some parcels) and low-yield viticulture that produces wines of extraordinary concentration and minerality. His methods have shaped a generation of Côte de Beaune vignerons.

Is St-Aubin as good as Chassagne-Montrachet or Puligny-Montrachet?
In the hands of Hubert Lamy, yes—the domaine has done more than any other to prove St-Aubin's top sites belong in the conversation with its famous neighbors. "Les Murgers des Dents de Chien" sits just above the Montrachet hillside, and Lamy's bottling (95 points, Wine Advocate) outscores many Puligny 1er Crus at twice the price.

When should I drink 2023 Hubert Lamy?
Critics note the 2023s are unusually approachable young—but these are structured, mineral-driven wines built for the cellar. Drink the village wines from release through 8 years; the 1er Crus will develop over 10–15.
