Tasting notes
The 2016 Saint-Aubin La Princée comes from ten different parcels, each affected by frost to different degrees according to Olivier Lamy. It has a fresh lime and Granny Smith apple scented bouquet. The palate is fresh with bitter lemon, great tension, not shrill but certainly sharp with a precise saline finish. Angular at the moment, give this 12 months in bottle, then drink over the next 3 or 4 years.

(an assemblage of ten parcels that yielded around 50 hectoliters per hectare as Lamy's village vines in Saint-Aubin were not affected by frost): Aromas of lemon and lime with a touch of reduction. Juicy, penetrating and nicely delineated, with a strong lemon drop flavor buttressed by sappy minerality and complicated by a whiff of chlorophyll. Not a particularly fleshy wine but finishes with lovely length and grip. From very minerally terroirs , notes Lamy.
