Tasting notes
The 2018 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has an energetic, focused, flinty bouquet with a spring in its step. The terroir comes through beautifully. The palate is quite effervescent with crisp acidity and good tension. Citrus-fresh and vibrant towards the finish, this has a dash of spice lingering on the aftertaste. Superb. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

One of the highlights of the range is the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, a lovely wine that offers up aromas of pear, waxy citrus rind, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with lively acids and a charming core of fruit, concluding with a mineral finish.
The 2018 St. Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a more leesy bouquet than other whites from de Montille, with plenty of cooking apple and Conference pear scents, and a little denser than other Remillys I have encountered. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and quite harmonious, revealing a discreet touch of salinity and hints of orange pith toward the pretty finish. Very fine.
