Experience the refined elegance of Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, an exceptional expression of Cote de Beaune Chardonnay. Crafted by Louis Jadot, this wine is sourced from Premier Cru vineyards located above dramatic sheer cliffs, near the prestigious Montrachet Grand Cru. The south-west facing vines grow in rich soils, producing fruit that embodies both purity and depth. The grapes are hand harvested and gently pressed, before undergoing fermentation and maturation in fine oak barrels from the estate's own cooperage. With careful ageing on fine lees for 15 months, the wine emerges with a poised, layered complexity. Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly is a superb gastronomic partner, designed to shine with white meats, fish, delicate sushi, ceviche, or hard cheeses.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale gold in colour, this Chardonnay boasts a luminous clarity with glimmers of green at the rim, suggesting freshness and vibrancy.
Nose:
The bouquet is opulent yet beautifully precise, opening with generous aromas of ripe stone fruit-white peach and apricot-subtly intertwined with delicate nutty undertones. Hints of toasted almond and hazelnut emerge, complemented by a gentle whisper of oak and a touch of citrus zest.
Palate:
On the palate, this wine delivers a fine balance of richness and finesse. There is a core of luscious peach and nectarine fruit, layered with notes of almond, brioche, and a hint of flinty minerality. The texture is silky, with vibrant acidity (6.55g/l) providing freshness and drive, while the subtle oak influence adds depth without overpowering the fruit.
Finish:
A long, clean finish leaves echoes of stone fruit, roasted nuts, and gentle citrus, underpinned by a saline mineral freshness. This harmonious conclusion invites another sip, promising excellent ageing potential and graceful development over time.
