Lamy has 2.4 hectares in the 1er Cru Les Frionnes, with vines planted in 1935, 1960 and 1985. It’s a southeast-facing site with old, decomposed limestone/clay soils and the topsoil covered in fragmented limestone. The vines are adjacent to the Derrière chez Edouard site, but this is a slightly warmer terroir, so it’s picked earlier. Frionnes gives pulpy fruit yet vibrant, saline freshness and a compact, rocky close. As Olivier Lamy says, it’s a terroir that has “one foot in Chablis, one foot in the Cote de Beaune”.

Reviews

“A fresher, more airy nose – no reduction here. That, now classic, leading wave of acidulated fruit (here). Properly intense in this finish – that’s a really great finish. My new favourite.”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru comes from Kimmeridgian soils. This feels focused and mineral-driven on the nose, similar to the Les Murgers des Dents de Chien. There are fleeting touches of oyster shell and fruits de mer blossoming in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, fresh and taut, with a killer line of acidity. The initial roundness dovetails into a stricter and more linear finish. This is superb.”

“The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is saline and mineral, unfurling in the glass with notes of white flowers, oyster shells and citrus oil. Medium-bodied, satiny and racy, with a pure core of fruit and a penetrating, mineral finish. It's derived from plantings at between 11,000-14,000 vines per hectare in Kimmeridgian limestone.”
