The 2011 St. Aubin En Remilly is wonderfully complete. Beams of vibrant minerality and acidity provide support for layers of open, resonant vintage 2011 fruit. The En Remilly is utterly vivid and kaleidoscopic in the glass, with superb nuance and transparency. Although delicious today, I really get the sense the 2011 could also age quite well given its persistence and palate presence. In my view there are two reference-point En Remillys; Olivier's Lamys is one. In case you are wondering, the other is Pierre-Yves Colin's.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly 2011 has a harmonious, more Meursault than Puligny-like bouquet with hints of grilled walnut and spice. The palate is clean and fresh with pointed acidity, a little spicier than its peers on the second half, with tangy marmalade notes filtering through on the long finish that has a slight oxidative bent. Fine.

Very toothsome and lip smacking. The nose alone really gets the saliva flowing. Juicy and precise, though this needs a bit of time in bottle. Would put many grander appellations to shame. Showing better than some other Lamy premiers crus did yesterday chez Goedhuis. (JR)
