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 have historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old and give very small, ripe and intensely flavoured bunches that produce a deep, layered wine. The 2022 is a beauty, with sweet fruit suggesting macerated strawberry and blackcurrant, again complemented by sweet spice. It has the same linear texture we find in the whites; however, there is an ethereal finesse across the palate that is all its own.
