Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly
サン＝トーバン・プルミエ・クリュ・アン・ルミイ
Domaine Hubert Lamy
Chardonnay
About this wine
En Remilly is Domaine Hubert Lamy's most prestigious premier cru parcel, situated directly adjacent to the Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet on a 2-hectare plot. Under Olivier Lamy, this cuvée has become one of the most sought-after white Burgundies, routinely rivaling wines from far more famous appellations. Fermented and aged in 300L barrels and demi-muids, with extended lees contact and bottling without filtration, En Remilly showcases intense mineral tension, vivid citrus, and white flower aromatics with exceptional aging potential.
This is Burgundy Chardonnay at its finest — precise, electric, and mineral-driven. A benchmark wine that shows why white Burgundy is revered the world over.
Sommelier's Note
"En Remilly is Olivier Lamy's crowning achievement — a wine of extraordinary tension and precision that punches far above its premier cru status. Collectors should cellar it for at least 8–10 years."
Food Pairings
Exceptional with grilled lobster, butter-poached scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, and aged Comté. Its vibrant acidity also makes it a perfect partner for sashimi, steamed abalone, or lightly dressed crab.
When to drink it
Perfect for a celebratory dinner, an important anniversary, or the centrepiece of a high-end wine tasting focused on white Burgundy.

Frequently Asked Questions
