Vinous (92-94)The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru is more understated on the nose at first, opening with green apple, orchard fruit, camomile and hints of Chinese white tea. Fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, linear and stony. The finish is more austere than the Les Chatenière but with razor-sharp delineation. A cerebral Saint-Aubin. |
