Histoire du domaine
The Lamy family has been established in the Saint-Aubin vineyards since 1640. Hubert Lamy founded the estate under his own name in 1973. In the 1990s, the estate expanded through the purchase, lease and planting of new plots. Some of the vines were then replanted with Chardonnay in areas considered more favourable to this grape variety. Olivier Lamy joined the family estate in 1995, after studying oenology and gaining experience at other estates. He now runs the estate with his wife Karine, who is responsible for management, marketing and accounts. The vineyard now covers 18.5 hectares, mainly in Saint-Aubin, with plots also located in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay. Olivier Lamy oversees the vineyard work and winemaking, with each plot being vinified and then matured separately. Both the white and red wines are bottled after 24 months’ ageing, depending on the estate’s website.
Derrière chez Edouard [Blanc]
Derrière Chez Edouard is a demarcated climat in the commune of Saint-Aubin, officially recognized for the Premier Cru designation of the Saint-Aubin AOC. Located close to the village and described as a mid-slope terroir, it is primarily associated with white Chardonnay wines, although the climat also produces red wine. Sources describe an orientation from east to southeast, with a local southern component. Available altitude, slope, and soil data mainly concern parcels farmed by producers and cannot be reliably extended to the entire demarcation.

Histoire de la parcelle
The climat is explicitly listed among the complementary geographical denominations classified as Premier Cru in the specifications of the Saint-Aubin AOC. Local tradition reported by several producers links its name to an Édouard family whose house stood in front of the vines; no more precise institutional historical dating for this name has been found.
