What is this wine?
Domaine Hubert Lamy, led by Olivier Lamy, is one of Burgundy’s most respected growers, producing some of the most precise and mineral-driven whites of the Côte de Beaune. En Remilly is the crown jewel of Saint-Aubin, a steep, chalky premier cru that borders the grands crus of Puligny and Chassagne. The 2019 vintage was warm and sunny, giving whites of richness, concentration, and balance, with excellent aging potential.

Why get this wine?
Saint-Aubin has become a hotspot for white Burgundy, and En Remilly sits at the very top. In Olivier Lamy’s hands, it rivals premier crus of Puligny-Montrachet and even some grands crus, but at a fraction of the price. The 2019 bottling combines depth with Lamy’s hallmark precision, making it both collectible and cellar-worthy.

What does this wine taste like?
Lemon zest, green apple, and pear layered with chalk, crushed stone, and a touch of hazelnut. Taut and mineral-driven, with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Delicious now with aeration, but best 2025–2038. Excellent with oysters, scallops, roast chicken, or alpine cheeses.

Left Saint-Aubin

Olivier Lamy is one of the rare burgundy producers who seems to be equally good at making red and white wine. He is endlessly experimenting and wants to achieve new heights in grape growing and winemaking. He is fanatic about pruning - where some growers might give up on a certain vine, Olivier will cut out diseased portions and coax a damaged vine back to health. This resurrected vine may only produce a few grapes but those grapes have such intense flavor.

Since 1995 he has been steadily increasing the vine density of his vineyards to 14,000 per hectare (compared to the standard density in Burgundy of 10,000; it's far less in other parts of the world). Some are planted at 4,000- 5,000 per hectare. He studied that before the phylloxera epidemic when vines were not planted in rows that vine densities were much greater - so he planted a section of one Saint Aubin vineyard at a density of 30,000 vines per hectare which puts great stress on the vines and reduces yields increasing flavor intensity, extract and acidity. He serves this wine last in a tasting.

There are no recipes at Chez Lamy - he harvests when the grapes are ripe which might be before or after his neighbors. He uses between 10-30% new oak at most but he may use none. The vineyards are farmed more or less organically but he will spray if he needs to fight mildew or oidium. These are uncompromising wines of coiled power and great tension - red or white.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"Ripe aromas of citrus confit, spice and mineral reduction slide gracefully into dense and solidly voluminous flavors that also exude a refreshing salinity on the clean and dry finish where a hint of bitter lemon slowly emerges. This will need to develop more depth to merit the top end of my predicted range, but the potential is there." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2019 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a slightly reductive nose. However, it works in its favor, maintaining delineation and mineralité, perhaps just slightly more alcohol presence than other En Remilly wines. The palate does not quite deliver the complexity of the nose. It shows citrus peel, orange rind, touches of quince jus and marmalade but just misses the same level of terroir expression as its peers on the finish. Still, this is a fine En Remilly, just not the best in show. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly unwinds in the glass to reveal aromas of crisp stone fruit, fresh bread, dried white flowers and wet stones, framed by a discreet touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied and ample yet chiseled, it's taut and mineral, with deep reserves of concentration and a long, saline finish." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 96
"Lamy owns more than 2ha of this superb premier cru in two well-placed parcels. En Remilly is among the best vineyards in St-Aubin, sharing the same elevation and exposure as Montrachet. Lamy ferments in cask (predominanty used) and ages without racking to produce this wine that is ripe and lively at the same time. There are lush notes of ripe apricot and quince, a bright lemony note and hints of smoke and gunflint. The wine has a superb tension on the palate but enough substance to carry it to a satisfying finish. Should age well indeed." -Charles Curtis, MW
