Domaine Hubert Lamy Santenay Clos des Hates Rouge, Cote de Beaune, France 2018
Santenay Clos des Hâtes Rouge 2018 is a rare and distinctive Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most admired artisan domaines. While Hubert Lamy has achieved cult status for its exceptional white Burgundies, the estate’s red wines showcase the same meticulous vineyard work, precision, and respect for terroir that define the domaine’s reputation.
Sourced from the Clos des Hâtes climat in Santenay, this 2018 vintage benefits from a warm, generous growing season while retaining Burgundy’s signature freshness and elegance. The wine reveals aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, violet, rose petal, forest floor, and subtle earthy spice, followed by a silky, refined palate with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a graceful mineral finish.
The 2018 Clos des Hâtes Rouge offers a beautiful combination of depth, purity, and Burgundy finesse, making it a compelling choice for collectors seeking under-the-radar Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir from a producer whose reputation continues to rise. Drinking beautifully now with additional complexity from bottle age, it will continue to evolve over the next decade.
