147 Saint-Aubin 1er En Remilly AC 2008
Marc Colin

Grape:100% Chardonnay (13% alc.)

This is one of the finest of the St Aubin 1er crus, on a steep south-facing slope and effectively the continuation of Le Montrachet as the hillside swings round to the west. It is very composed, harmonious wine, from vines averaging 35 years old. For drinking now to 2014.
