"Neal Martin 94/100
The 2018 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is adorned with an initially oily, almost petrolly nose that recedes to leave aromas of freshly cut lemon plus a subtle algae note. Well balanced with fine acidity, this En Remilly is very cohesive towards the finish with lingering lemon curd and orange rind. Very good length, this is a brilliant wine. Vinous.com"
Olivier Lamy’s wines have a crystalline quality that really makes them stand apart. The impeccable winemaking and perfect balance of ripe acidity means these wines age very well. The domaine’s particularity is the high density at which they plant, including two plots of 30,000 vines per hectare, three times more than normal.
Neal Martin; Olivier Lamy was on hand to guide me through his 2018s from his cellar in Saint-Aubin. 'There was 25% more rain in spring but 25% less in summer," he explained. "Yet there was more sunlight hours, 1,550 instead of the average 1,200. The reds were more impacted by the sun as the skins suffered more grillé. I started picking on 22 August. Some vineyards were picked on five different dates and some of the fruit picked earliest were too ripe and some picked at the end were too green! I finished the picking on 12 September.'
