Too high. Too cold. Too rocky. Difficult soils. Marginal ripening. Then the climate shifted. Today, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru En Remilly sits in one of the most enviable positions in Burgundy. At the top of the slope, with intensely rocky soils and perfect exposure, this vineyard now ripens beautifully. And here is the part that matters. Just beyond a small strip of forest, roughly 200 feet away, sits Chevalier-Montrachet. Yes, that Chevalier-Montrachet. En Remilly shares the same altitude band, the same slope, the same limestone dominance. What was once considered too elevated is now perfectly positioned. The vineyard has become one of the most compelling Chardonnay sites in Burgundy. Joseph Colin’s footprint in this parcel is significant, and his style is all about transparency. Precision farming. Mineral tension. Controlled oak. Letting the site speak rather than polishing it into submission. In the glass, this is pure high-elevation white Burgundy. Stone, citrus peel, chalk, and tension. There is power here, but it is linear. Focused. Built around structure rather than opulence. You are drinking Premier Cru Burgundy from a Grand Cru neighborhood. If you understand what proximity means in Burgundy, you understand why this wine matters.
