Lamy/Hubert Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Macherelles 2017

93 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): “Olivier Lamy sources his Macherelles from a 0.16ha block on the northwestern side of Chassagne, very close to the lower part of the village on stony limestone. This has more power and structure than some of his St-Aubin wines, which tend to be pithier and more ethereal. Leesy, tangy and with classic struck-match aromas, this is aniseedy and rich with layers of flavour and good ageing potential. Drinking Window: 2021-2027. (Nov 2018)”

91 points Jasper Morris, MW: “Fine clear primrose, the nose shows a little fruit but it is quite tight, the palate even more so, the energy is there but it is on the tight side. Somehow it comes across as a little bit anonymous after tasting the top St-Aubin 1ers Crus. Tasted: October 2018.”
