2019 Marc Colin St-Aubin En Remilly

The 2019 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is more exhibitionist on the nose compared to other cuvées with overt tropical notes of passion fruit, guava and citrus peel. The bouquet is well balanced with tempting orange pith and yellow plum notes. In this vintage I am more taken with the La Chatenière or Sous Rouche Dumay that are both more classic in style. 90-92 points

5 plots, which Damien thinks might be fun to make separately. Merci, Damien, ça suffit. Pale yellow. A little bit of toast, really intense, almost too much, complex, but unforgiving. Needs a long elevage. 91-94 points

The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly has also turned out nicely, displaying aromas of pear, fresh bread, confit lemon and nutmeg, framed by a promising—at this stage in its élevage—touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it`s ample and elegantly textural, but built around a lovely spine of acidity, concluding with a lively finish. 92-94 points
