This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard, where the soils have more clay and historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old, producing small, ripe and intensely flavoured bunches. This wine is simply stunning and a wonderful example of the heights that Lamy reds are now capable of reaching. Incredibly aromatic, it is loaded with red fruits and florals on both the nose and palate, with the same finesse and minerality we find in the whites. Don’t miss this.

Reviews

"The 2023 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru (Rouge), which contains around 80% whole bunch, has an entrancing bouquet with cranberry and raspberry, wilted rose petal and light rosehip scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid opening. Quite an insistent grip, a light underlying pepperiness leads to a harmonious and energetic finish that draws you back for more. This should age well in bottle."
92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
"From a site planted in 1959, where Lamy practices tressage—with vine shoots woven together at the top of the trellis rather than trimmed—the 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Rouge is expanding aromatically with notes of red plum, cherry, spice and woodsmoke. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, taut and a little austere this year, framed by chalky tannins."
89 points, Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate
“A larger scale to this aroma and of more inviting, cushioned red fruit. Vibrant flavour – there’s a lovely energy here. Faintly cushioned, slightly creamy from the barrel. Slowly holding in the finishing. Delicious wine…”
