The 2023 Domaine de Montille Saint-Aubin En Remilly is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from the elevated En Remilly vineyard in Saint-Aubin, located beside the famed slopes of Puligny-Montrachet in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay by the highly regarded Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic philosophy and restrained approach to winemaking, focusing on mineral precision, freshness and vineyard transparency. The high-altitude limestone soils of En Remilly contribute notable tension and energy, while the 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant natural acidity. The nose is refined and expressive, revealing aromas of lemon zest, white peach and pear alongside white flowers, toasted almond and pronounced chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel that balances freshness with subtle richness. Flavours of citrus, green orchard fruits and delicate stone fruit unfold alongside restrained oak influence that adds gentle creaminess and savoury complexity without overshadowing the vineyard character. Domaine de Montille’s careful élevage preserves clarity and precision, while the terroir of En Remilly contributes saline tension and persistence throughout the palate. The finish is long, dry and mineral-driven with lingering citrus, flint and hazelnut nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Premier Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a more mineral-driven and energetic Chardonnay with strong Côte de Beaune character and excellent food-pairing versatility. The 2023 vintage is already highly expressive while retaining the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Best served lightly chilled with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, roast poultry or aged hard cheeses.
