2014 St Aubin En Remilly

Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Lamy's 2014 St Aubin 1er Cru en Remilly has a reduced nose that suggests perhaps more SO2 than was necessary. At the moment it is suppressing the fruit, but returning to the glass after ten minutes, I observed that it became much brighter with attractive mineral scents surfacing. The palate has a pleasant bitterness, an almost sherbet-like entry with good weight in the mouth. It does not quite deliver the cohesion and depth of its peers, although it does offer a lively, quite spicy finish. This should repay continued bottle aging.

Pure, precise aromas of lemon, lime, white peach and crushed rock; some of these vines are situated close to Chevalier-Montrachet. Densely packed and distinctly chewy, showing ripe lemon oil and peach flavors and a tactile impression of dry extract. The most phenolic of these 2014s to this point, finishing chalky, chewy and lightly tannic.
