2015 Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru

Exhibiting aromas of nectarine, pear, Meyer lemon and citrus confit mingled with clear honey, freshly baked bread and iodine, the 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité is full-bodied, broad and layered, with a textural attack that segued into a deep, racy mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Rich and saline, it's fresher and more incisive than the regular bottling of Derrière Chez Edouard, yet analytically, it's lower in acidity.

(tasted from tank; from a hillside site rich in white marl soil): Bright, light yellow. Musky lemon and lime aromas are complicated by white flowers and chalk. Densely flavored and intense, showing inviting sweetness to its peach and pear fruit flavors. A nicely bracing wine with the added thickness of the year. Finishes tactile and quite long. These vines are planted at a density of 14,000 per hectare, vs. 30,000 for the special Haute Densité bottling.
