Perched on the hillside just beside the legendary Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet, En Remilly offers a remarkably refined, mineral expression of Chardonnay. Bottled in a 1.5L magnum, this cuvée is ideal for both cellar aging and sharing on special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a luminous pale gold color with greenish highlights, signalling its youth and freshness. The nose is precise and detailed, opening with citrus zest, white flowers and crisp green apple, followed by notes of stone fruits, wet stones, and a subtle touch of toast and hazelnut from carefully judged oak aging.\n\nOn the palate, this 1er Cru is all about purity and balance: a fine, linear acidity carries flavors of lemon curd, ripe pear, and white peach over a spine of chalky minerality. The texture is both silky and energetic, with the oak beautifully integrated, adding gentle creaminess and spice without ever masking the terroir. The finish is long, saline and focused, promising excellent development in bottle. Thanks to the magnum format and the naturally structured, mineral profile, this 2020 has outstanding aging potential, easily over 10–15 years in a good cellar, gaining more complexity, nutty nuances and honeyed depth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruno Colin cultivates just 0.46 hectares of Chardonnay in En Remilly, a tiny premier cru parcel totaling only 1.56 hectares and shared by a mere six producers. The vineyard sits on a stony hillside that links the villages of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, with classic clay-limestone soils that give the wine its tension and minerality. Vines planted in 1960 and 1989 provide low yields of concentrated fruit. Harvest is carried out manually with strict sorting in the vineyard to ensure only perfectly ripe, healthy grapes are used. After pressing, the wine is aged for around 12 months in 350L barrels, of which only 15–20% are new, followed by an additional 4–6 months in barrel before bottling. This gentle, terroir-driven approach results in an elegant, pure and precise wine that faithfully reflects its exceptional origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Remilly is a natural partner for refined dishes: think butter-poached lobster, scallops in a light cream or citrus sauce, turbot or sole meunière, as well as roast chicken with morels or truffle-inflected poultry. It also pairs beautifully with fine, not-too-strong cheeses such as Comté, aged Gruyère, or mild goat cheese. Serve at 10–12°C to allow the aromas to unfold gradually in the glass. Given its youth and concentration, a gentle decant of 30–45 minutes, especially from magnum, can help the wine open up and show its full aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Colin family has been rooted in Burgundy winemaking for generations, and Bruno Colin continues this legacy with a highly regarded domaine bearing his own name. After working within the historic family estate, he established his own holdings, now comprising parcels in some of the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune, including Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Bruno is known for crafting wines that are elegant, finely etched and impeccably balanced, always with a strong sense of place. His work reflects the classic Burgundian philosophy of terroir, focusing on expressing the individuality of each parcel rather than imposing a heavy-handed style. Today, Bruno Colin is considered one of the leading names in Chassagne-Montrachet, with his premier crus—such as En Remilly—regularly earning critical acclaim for their precision, depth and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno Colin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251848958289,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-20100409","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/2020_Bruno_Colin_Chassagne_Montrachet_1er_Cru_En_Remilly_Magnum.png?v=1783441833","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2020-bruno-colin-chassagne-montrachet-1er-cru-en-remilly-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
