Lamy/Hubert Santenay Blanc 1er cru Clos des Gravières 2015

89-92 points and ‘Sweet spot/Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “A ripe, fresh and really quite pretty nose combines notes of various white orchard fruit aromas with those of tea, citrus peel and a background trace of oak. There is equally good volume and richness to the more obviously mineral-inflected flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that confers a sappy palate impression to the impressively persistent finish. This isn’t quite as refined but there is just a bit more here. Drink: 2020+. (Jun 2017)”

90 points William Kelley (Decanter): “The Clos des Gravières blanc is a great bottling for anyone looking for some of the Lamy magic for a keen price, as the 2015 is a great success. Notes of lemon, orange blossoms, yellow stone fruit and subtle noisette precede a bright, glossy palate with lovely depth and minerality. Drinking Window: 2017-2030. (Jan 2017)”
