Tasting notes
The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is more understated on the nose at first, opening with green apple, orchard fruit, camomile and hints of Chinese white tea. Fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, linear and stony. The finish is more austere than the Les Chatenière but with razor-sharp delineation. A cerebral Saint-Aubin.

Pierre-Yves Colin produced four barrels of his 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly from fully 0.70 hectares, a derisory yield from vines that were ravished by the April frosts (I saw them myself several days after the fateful nights). Opening in the glass with notes of peach, white flowers and beeswax, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with an ample mid-palate and a saline finish.
Cask sample. Mid lemon. Apple, citrus on the nose, less peach than the Chatenière, but this is rich and relatively full-bodied. Lovely, fresh acidity compliments and contains the spicy, savoury oak, with admirable and noticeable chalky salinity. Mineral in style. (MH)
