Jasper Morris MW 91/100
Clear classy pale lemon. An impressive depth of balanced fruit, very attractive. Easy-going, shows more at the front of the palate, attractive white fruit, and some length. The fruit shows considerable ripeness, perhaps trending towards the honeysuckle. DIAM30 closure.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (May 2022)

En Remilly is generally regarded as one of the top two Premiers Crus in Saint Aubin, partly because of its proximity to the Grands Crus of Chassagne-Montrachet. Olivier Lamy's expression of the terroir hails from two parcels planted in 1989 and 1990, and is typically floral, taut and nuanced, with wonderful freshness and salinity and the concentration to age.Drink 2022 - 2028Tim Atkin MW, Decanter (October 2018)

The 2018 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is adorned with an initially oily, almost petrolly nose that recedes to leave aromas of freshly cut lemon plus a subtle algae note. Well balanced with fine acidity, this En Remilly is very cohesive towards the finish with lingering lemon curd and orange rind. Very good length, this is a brilliant wine.Drink 2024 - 2045Neil Martin, Vinous.com (October 2020)

Ample and demonstrative when I tasted it from barrel, Lamy's 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly has tightened up after bottling. Unwinding in the glass with notes of orange oil, nutmeg, pear and toasted bread, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, with a coiled and concentrated core, tangy acids and a long, saline finish. The only missing ingredient is time.Drink 2026 - 2052William Kelley, Wine Advocate (January 2021)

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
