A murger is a pile of stones or a wall made from rocks extracted from a vineyard’s soil. The vineyard name (roughly translating to “the wall of dog’s teeth”) evokes the fragmented, jagged stones that abound on the soil. It’s a rocky hillside vineyard that borders the 1er Cru Puligny vines of Champ Gain (not Folatières as suggested in Neal Martin’s note below) and sits above Montrachet, literally on the “Mont-Rachet”. Then again, such mapping can be deceptive; when you stand in the vineyard, it feels totally different: higher, more sheltered and somehow wilder than both the vineyards mentioned. Lamy’s vines were planted in 1985 and are typically affected by millerandage, resulting in low yields and more opulence. Lamy has only 0.25 hectares, so we only get a few cases. Despite the site’s high altitude, the wine is always fleshy and deep. As with all the Lamy wines, you’ll find plenty of intense, chalky minerality, too, but it is nonetheless Lamy’s most hedonistic expression. And it is always brilliant.

Reviews

“Less large but still a width of cushioned very inviting fruit. Incisive, a couple of mm of generosity and then a breadth of finishing flavour. I’d keep it 3-5 years before starting but that’s a great wine.”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 1er Cru comes from the last parcel before Puligny Folatières. It has distinctive fruits de mer on the nose—you can nearly smell those freshly shucked oysters and cockles with a squeeze of fresh lemon! The palate is very well balanced, with a little more weight on the front end that is balanced by the silver thread of acidity. Tensile and quite spicy on the finish, this is a level up from the 2021.”

“The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet citrus oil, Anjou pear, white flowers and nutty reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's pure and racy, with a bright spine of acidity, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish. It's another terrific performance from this virused parcel that always produces small bunches.”
