エッジ緑がかった若い黄金色。
香りは雄弁で開放的、柑橘を思わせる新鮮な果実が咲き誇っている。
アタックから偉大なワインを思わせます。特筆すべきバランスの良さ。
余韻は美しく長くミネラルがありフィネスを感じます。

The 2022 Bourgogne Les Chataigners is ample and fleshy, bursting with aromas of pear, ripe apples, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium-bodied, open and giving, it includes declassified juice from the final press fractions of Lamy's top cuvées. This will drink well on release.

Olivier Lamy and his vines appear to have handled the 2022 growing season admirably, despite the hydric deficit and warm conditions. This is an estate whose wines have generally demanded a bit of patience out of the gates, yet the 2022s are especially charming, exhibiting a youthful expressiveness and sense effortless this year that makes them especially appealing. Bottling under Diam 30, with concomitantly somewhat lower levels of free sulfites, surely has something to do with it. But it's probably also simply the result of over two decades' work coming together in a seamless synthesis. Whether it's cutting-edge viticulture, including plantings at over 20,000 vines per hectare and unhedged canopies; extended maturation on the lees, which now amounts to 24 months in total, 23 of those in largely neutral wood; obsessive attention to closures and bottling practices; or a host of other small details that, cumulatively, make the difference between the best and the rest, Lamy has spared nothing to get to where he is today. While his ultra-rare Haute Densité bottlings are now almost impossible to source, readers will still find it easy to secure his more modest cuvées. Everything here comes warmly recommended.

Unwinding in the glass with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, freshly baked bread, iodine and mint, Lamy's 2021 Bourgogne Les Chataigners is medium-bodied, chiseled and incisive, with good depth at the core and a penetrating finish. It benefits from some 50% declassified juice from the later press fractions of higher appellations.

自然派的な意味ではない還元的な造りが特徴的なラミーのワインはともすれば不愛想に感じることすらあります。
2020年はトップから完熟した果実が開放している今までにない印象。
冷涼産地でゆっくりと完熟した黄色果実を思わせる香りはどこか異次元的で超大御所生産者の持つ気配に満ちています。ハチミツがまるで光の糸のように鼻腔に絡みつく立ち上がり。
口に入れるとミネラルのテグス、ハチミツの絹糸が束になって上昇。酸が毛羽立つこともなく大きなスケール。
余韻にかけてわずかに収れん性を伴う洋ナシ。
ただただ巨躯を思わせる気配に満ちているのに威圧するような強さを感じさせない卓越した世界。
ポテンシャルも非常に高く、抜栓後も大きな上昇曲線を描きます。

The 2020 Bourgogne Les Chataigners is already expressive, exhibiting aromas of crisp green apple, orange oil and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and giving palate underpinned by racy acids, and concluding with a mouthwatering finish. Lamy's grander appellations may be entering the pricing stratosphere on the secondary market, but this superb cuvée remains very accessible and is well worth seeking out.
