Domaine Hubert Lamy Santenay Clos des Hates Rouge, Cote de Beaune, France 2017
Santenay Clos des Hâtes Rouge 2017 is a rare and compelling expression of Pinot Noir from Santenay, showcasing the precision and elegance that have made Hubert Lamy one of the Côte de Beaune’s most admired domaines. While the estate is best known for its extraordinary white Burgundies, its red wines offer the same meticulous attention to terroir, with a focus on purity, finesse, and balance.
Sourced from the Clos des Hâtes climat, this 2017 Pinot Noir displays the classic character of mature Côte de Beaune: aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal, violet, forest floor, and subtle earthy spice. The palate is silky and refined, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a graceful mineral backbone that gives the wine remarkable length and freshness.
The 2017 vintage is drinking beautifully today, offering the complexity of bottle age while retaining the energy and structure that define Hubert Lamy’s style. A sophisticated, under-the-radar Burgundy for collectors who appreciate small-production, terroir-driven Pinot Noir from a producer better known for Chardonnay excellence.
