2010 St Aubin Blanc En Remilly

Pale bright yellow. Precise aromas of lemon and crushed stone. Silky and thick but at the same time sharply delineated, with a penetrating quality to the citrus fruit and mineral flavors. Superb freshness of fruit here. Finishes seamless and long, with excellent lift.

Once again, the 2010 St. Aubin En Remilly is strikingly beautiful and precise. Flint, wet stones, white flowers and bright fruit are some of the many notes that emerge from the glass. Elements of transparency and weightlessness make the En Remilly a sort of poor man's Meursault Genevrières . Year after year, this has been one of the very finest white Burgundies in its price range, not to mention a wine that often challenges offerings from more prestigious appellations. En Remilly remains one of the Colin-Morey signatures.

En Remilly remains one of the Colin-Morey signatures. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey follow their stunning 2009s with an equally compelling set of 2010s. The 2010s have deep site-specific signatures, rich fruit and plenty of acidity. Fans of this small, but increasingly high profile address will want to flock to these wines. Pierre Yves Colin started picking on September 22. Yields were down just 5-10%, which is pretty remarkable considering the vintage. It was a difficult vintage in the cellar, as malos were late and slow. When I visited last June, virtually all of the wines were still finishing their malos. With the exception of the St. Aubins, the 2010s spent about 18 months in barrel. The St. Aubins were bottled in November 2011. All of the other 2010s were bottled in April 2012. The 2011s, which I tasted from barrel, are very promising, so there is a lot to look forward to. A Daniel Johnnes Selection, imported by Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
