“En Remilly” is located right behind Le Montrachet – mid-slope, facing east, protected from spring frosts on a thin and rocky soil – an outstanding positioning. This location beside the most famous Chardonnay vineyard of all is what gives Saint-Aubin wines their reputation for incredible value. Legend has it that “Remilly” comes from a former Roman proprietor named Romilius.
After being hand-harvested, the grapes are immediately pressed. The wine ages 12 months in oak (20% new oak). Notes of ripe lemon, almond, cinnamon and spices are balanced by lively acidity, with a touch of cream on the nose. The wine exhibits a powerful and generous texture, as well as a unique minerality. Try this Saint-Aubin 1er Cru as an aperitif, with oysters or with trout.
