Tasting notes
The 2007 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly is lovely, offering up aromas of orange oil, smoky pear, pastry cream and an exotic top note of coconut. Medium-bodied, chiseled and incisive, it's tightly wound and without much flesh on its bones, concluding with a vanillin-inflected finish. It's a fine effort, but it can't match the wines Lamy is producing today.

First comes a splendid 2007 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru. Fully mature on the nose, it delivers scents of wild mint and Seville orange marmalade; then with further aeration, intriguing aromas of Granny Smith apples mixed with background hints of charred wood. The palate demonstrates very fine delineation, a beautifully poised En Remilly with a penetrating line of acidity that renders it surprisingly youthful on the nose. This classy En Remilly is à point, but clearly it has the legs to last several more years.
Green and lively and racy. Bone dry. Needs a little time to soften. (JR)
