2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, Domaine Hubert Lamy

“The Quiet Star”

Pale straw with a hint of gold, this Saint-Aubin 1er Cru is all elegance and energy. The nose unfurls with white flowers, lemon oil, green almond and crushed limestone, carried by a whisper of smoke. On the palate, it’s taut yet textural with pure citrus and orchard fruit layered over flinty minerality and fine, mouthwatering acidity. The finish is long, saline and effortlessly refined, leaving a lingering impression of cool precision.

For when: you want Chardonnay that feels alive.
Pairs with: grilled sea bass, creamy risotto, or roast chicken with herbs.
If this wine were a place, it’d be a quiet hillside at sunrise, calm, bright and full of promise.

From the ever-meticulous Olivier Lamy, En Remilly sits just above the grands crus of Puligny-Montrachet, on steep limestone slopes that produce some of Saint-Aubin’s most chiselled and expressive wines. Hand-harvested fruit, wild fermentation and ageing in large, neutral oak preserve the purity and focus of the terroir. The 2023 vintage is a masterclass in texture and tension: a wine that bridges grace and depth in perfect balance.

About the 2023 Vintage in Burgundy:
The 2023 vintage gave Burgundy a rare gift: balance with generosity. Warm, steady ripening and cool nights produced wines of crystalline fruit and natural poise. In Saint-Aubin, the result is Chardonnay that marries richness with restraint, minerality with charm. Expect expressive aromatics, fine tension, and an immediate sense of place, the kind of vintage that reminds you why Burgundy still sets the benchmark.
