En Remilly Saint Aubin 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Borgeot

The En Remilly Saint Aubin 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Borgeot appears in the glass with a clear, luminous straw-yellow color and fine, silvery reflections. Delicate legs already suggest an elegant density when first swirled, without obscuring the finesse of this Premier Cru.

On the nose, it reveals a precise, multifaceted aromatic profile. Fine notes of lemon peel, lime zest and ripe yellow lemon meet white blossoms, acacia and a hint of orange blossom. Clear mineral nuances follow, reminiscent of wet stone, chalk and cool rock. Subtle hints of fresh pear, green apple skin and a touch of almond shell emerge in the background, lending additional depth to the bouquet.

On the palate, this Chardonnay from Saint-Aubin is precise, taut and simultaneously silky. The opening is citrus-fresh, with juicy acidity that carries the wine beautifully and gives it liveliness. Mineral tension extends from the first contact through to the long finish, while a fine, creamy texture coats the mid-palate. The maturation creates an elegant balance between cool freshness, saline minerality and delicate richness, without any heaviness.

The acidity is clear, precise and perfectly integrated, giving the wine drive and tension. Tannins appear only as a delicate, almost powdery framework in the background, typical of a characterful Chardonnay from this origin. The style remains refined, focused and straight-lined throughout, with fine palate pressure and a delicate, persistent finish.

Production of the En Remilly Saint Aubin 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Borgeot

The grapes for this wine come from the renowned En Remilly vineyard near Saint-Aubin, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The parcels are situated on the slopes above Puligny-Montrachet, enjoying plenty of sunshine as well as fresh air circulation. The climate is distinctly continental, with warm days and cool nights during the ripening period, encouraging the Chardonnay grapes to develop slowly and with an emphasis on aromatic expression.

The soils in En Remilly consist primarily of limestone-rich marl and stony subsoil, interspersed with fine, poor earth. This structure ensures excellent drainage, while the roots penetrate deep into the soil and clearly reflect its mineral character in the finished wine. The limestone-rich subsoil gives the Chardonnay its characteristic tension, saline grip and remarkable clarity.

The grapes are harvested selectively by hand and carefully sorted in the vineyard. Only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated fruit reaches the cellar of Domaine Borgeot. The grapes remain intact during harvesting to prevent oxidation and preserve the delicate freshness of the citrus aromas in full.

In the cellar, Domaine Borgeot focuses on gentle handling. The grapes are placed in the press without crushing, where a slow, gentle pressing process releases the must from the berries. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures so that the delicate aromas of lemon peel, white blossoms and minerality remain pure and prominent.

The wine is traditionally matured in wood, mostly in Burgundian pièces. A carefully selected proportion of used barrels preserves the aromatic precision, while a smaller proportion of new oak gives the wine structure, delicate richness and subtle spice. The lees aging with bâtonnage adds further creaminess without blurring the taut, clear profile.

The winemaker’s style emphasizes individuality and terroir. Domaine Borgeot places the greatest importance on authenticity, clarity and an elegant, powerful structure. As a result, the finished wine shows no excessive oak influence, but rather a harmonious combination of freshness, finesse and depth that is typical of a Premier Cru from Saint-Aubin.

Serving Recommendations for the En Remilly Saint Aubin 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Borgeot

The En Remilly Saint Aubin 1er Cru AOP - Domaine Borgeot is an excellent match for refined dishes from haute cuisine. It is particularly successful with marinated or briefly seared fish, such as turbot, sole or char. Seafood such as scallops, prawns or lobster also harmonizes beautifully with the wine’s citrus-fresh, mineral character.

Pairings with white meat are equally appealing: veal loin, poultry in a creamy sauce or delicately roasted guinea fowl receive an elegant complement from the wine’s finesse and clear palate drive. Mature, medium-bodied soft cheese, mild goat’s cheese or creamy Brie reveal particular refinement alongside its fine acidity.

• Perfect with fish, seafood and fine sushi

As an accompaniment, this Premier Cru is especially suited to festive occasions, elegant dinner evenings and sophisticated menus. It is just as impressive for intimate evenings for two as it is for celebratory gatherings with guests who appreciate authentic Burgundies. It also makes an impressive gift for wine lovers and leaves a lasting impression.

The ideal serving temperature is approximately 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. Lightly chilled, the wine reveals its freshness and fine citrus notes, while it gradually opens in the glass and displays additional depth. A Burgundy glass with a generous bowl supports the multifaceted development of minerality, floral nuances and subtle oak notes.

Stored in a cool, light-protected cellar at a constant temperature, this Premier Cru benefits greatly from careful aging. A few years of bottle maturation develop additional nuances of nuts, brioche and delicate honey, without sacrificing its lively freshness. In this way, the wine accompanies sophisticated moments of enjoyment over an extended period and repeatedly creates special moments in the glass.
