Hubert Lamy

Domaine Hubert Lamy is a Saint-Aubin estate run by Olivier Lamy, who took over from his father in 1995 and became one of Burgundy's most unexpected quality revelations—producing age-worthy, complex white Burgundy from an appellation historically treated as a value alternative to Puligny and Chassagne. The domaine's most extraordinary wine is the Clos de la Chatenière Haute Densité (HD)—a micro-production bottling from vines planted at 24,000 plants per hectare (triple normal density) on soils too poor for conventional viticulture—which averages $2,754 per bottle across 28 auction lots. The Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet grand cru averages $1,118 across 14 lots. The Saint-Aubin Cuvée Haute Densité bottling averages $929 across 31 lots. At a $528 portfolio average across 365 lots, Lamy is the most valuable white Burgundy domaine per bottle at this lot count in this batch. Prices reach $5,000 for the rarest HD releases. The broader portfolio of Saint-Aubin premier and village whites delivers extraordinary value for a domaine of this quality level.
