2020 St Aubin Blanc En Remilly

Tasting notes
The 2020 Saint Aubin En Remilly ler Cru has a perfumed bouquet with wet pavement and limestone aromas, pinning this as an En Remilly. It just becomes a little diffuse with aeration. The palate is slightly chalky on the entry, has crisp acidity, and may be a little too sharp on the citric finish. I would also prefer more length here. I'm surprised this turned out to be Lamy, but that's blind tasting for you. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

A pleasing, pale lemon colour. The nose is an elegant mix of fruit and oak, well integrated. Quality builds on the nose. A firm mineral backbone, white fruit, medium plus length, good tension at the finish. Ripe apples all the way through.
The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly wafts from the glass with aromas of white flowers, crisp stone fruit, honeycomb, orange oil and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping palate that's racy and precise, combining the aromatic expression and textural attack characteristic of its sunny exposition with the tension and cut appropriate to this high-altitude, stony site.
