From one of Burgundy’s most sought-after contemporary white wine producers, the 2023 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'En Remilly' hails from a prized vineyard on the limestone-rich slopes overlooking the southern Côte de Beaune. Bordering the celebrated vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet, En Remilly benefits from its elevated position and shallow, stony limestone soils, producing Chardonnay of remarkable precision, mineral intensity and depth. Colin-Morey’s meticulous approach in the cellar, including fermentation and maturation in larger French oak barrels, builds texture and complexity while preserving the site’s natural freshness.
The nose is beautifully layered, revealing lemon zest, white peach and ripe pear, with delicate notes of white blossom, toasted hazelnut and a subtle smoky, flinty nuance. The palate is concentrated yet finely poised, combining generous orchard fruit with citrus oil, crushed stone and a distinctly saline mineral character. There is impressive textural depth, with a satiny, almost creamy mid-palate balanced by vibrant acidity and a firm, chalky line of structure. The finish is exceptionally persistent, with lingering citrus, subtle spice and a mouth-watering mineral freshness. A wine of both richness and remarkable definition, capturing the tension between ripe fruit and limestone-driven precision that makes En Remilly so compelling. Still youthful, it will reward patience in the cellar, with the potential to develop greater complexity over the coming years. Presented in magnum, it is an especially compelling format for extended ageing and sharing around the table.
