"Matter and tension for this Saint-Aubin 1er cru".
The En Remilly climat lies to the south-east of Gamay, a hamlet in the village of Saint-Aubin, and benefits from a south-western exposure. This climate brings tension and minerality to this prestige cuvée from Domaine Bertrand Bachelet. The voluptuous palate reveals notes of white flowers, flint, beeswax and almond paste. Enjoy it now!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 91/100 (Vintage 2019)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker since 2011, heads up this 13-hectare estate spread from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and cordon de Royat are de rigueur here, as are massal selections developed on the estate's oldest vines. A range characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruit. The reds, which account for the vast majority of production, are vinified de-stemmed in concrete vats and boast silky tannins, while the whites, without bâtonnage, offer roundness and juicy, honeyed orchard fruit aromas.
