Lamy/Hubert St-Aubin 1er cru Derrière Chez Edouard 2018

94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Clear bright colour, with a pretty green streak. The bouquet is floral in the sense of daffodils just about to emerge. This suggests that the palate will be very youthful while still offering an immediate attraction. Massive density, this is HD-worthy on that account, the stones have come out to play as well. Very complete and most attractive. Still, a shame to drink this any time soon if you can hold off. Tasted: February 2022."

94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Edouard was a family rather than a person, apparently, whose name has been immortalised in the name of this Premier Cru. Very densely planted with between 14,000 and 20,000 vines/ha on white marl soils, this has texture, balance and concentration, sustained by acidity and freshness and framed by refined, vanilla-scented oak. Drinking Window: 2021-2028. (Oct 2019)"

93+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of fresh peach, pomelo and pear mingle with hints of smoke, wet stones and nutmeg, introducing Lamy's 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated wine that's layered and incisive, with tangy acids and chalky back-end grip.. Drink: 2025-2050. (1/14/21)"

93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru offers scents of granite and wet slate on the nose with hints of quince. Very terroir expressive. The palate is gorgeous, so tensile and extremely poised, seductive touches of apricot jam and repeating quince towards the complex finish. What a fabulous Saint-Aubin. Drink: 2022-2040. (Dec 2020)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Not the ‘hd’ cuvée, but this is still planted at 14k/ha). A relatively tight nose here. Electric freshness, very grapefruit agrume style – it lights up my palate. So fresh but it makes you beg for more – wow! (12/19/19)"
