Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly was hit by frost acutely on the lower slopes but not at all on the parcel’s higher reaches. Therefore, the harvest here was reduced by 30. It has a strict, quite stony bouquet with a light sea spray influence developing in the glass, though never as intense as the 2014 or 2015. The palate is very precise on the entry, great detail here with a touch of sour lemon lending tension and energy. What it might just lack is length and aftertaste, scarpering out of the exit door just a touch too hastily. Otherwise, this is very fine.
