Hubert Lamy
En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay
Saint-Aubin, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
It has been a little while since we have had Olivier’s 2014. It’s our last bottle of three and the honey notes have definitely deepened.
The nose shows; sweet & sour lemons, green & golden apple, lime zest-candy, ripe pineapple, green melon, apricots, white peach, gentle, warm, white spice, beautiful chalkiness, caramel, vanillin, honey, candle wax notes, sea spray-fossils, understated limestone & volcanic minerals, fruit blossoms, yellow flowers/lilies, spring flowers, jasmine with mixed flower greens.
The body is full, thick & slightly waxy. Nice viscosity. sweet & sour lemons, green & golden apple, lime zest-candy, overripe pineapple, green melon, apricots, white peach, grapefruit w/ a touch of sugar, gentle, warm, white spice, beautiful, powdery, chalkiness, caramel, vanillin, honey, candle wax notes, light butter & cream quality, fresh herbaceousiness, sea spray-fossils, understated limestone & grainy, grey, volcanic minerals, light sulphur/flintiness, fruit blossoms, yellow flowers/lilies, spring flowers, jasmine with mixed flower greens. The acidity is round/phat...really well done. The nice finish glides gently with elegance, good balance, just hits the low end of rich & lush and depositing soft, powdery minerals as it long sets.

First course, Cauliflower Puree, Torn Bread, Olive Oil Perfect! @PlateandBottle This is such a Burgundian steal. Thick & creamy to match the soup. Lots of time on lees. Lemon, honeysuckle, green apple, lime, grapefruit pith, butterscotch, butter but not buttery and smooth as velvety silk. This is their best since their 2010. I can’t say enough good things about what this producer achieves from this terroir.

Jul 23rd, 2017Such nice tropicals, minerality, saline, balance and acidity. Looking for a really nice 1st Cru Burgundy for the $? This would be it. Olivier is constantly pushing quality year in and year out. Tasting the just bottled 14's with Olivier.

Sep 7th, 2018Lemon citrus with lots of mineral, white flower and bracing acidity. Still a baby with plenty of structure & tension to last another 20 yrs.
