More about the Jerome Fornerot 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'En Remilly’: The 2023 vintage of Jérôme Fornerot’s Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'En Remilly' Blanc is a luminous expression of Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most esteemed Premier Cru sites. Situated at the southern end of Saint-Aubin, bordering the Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet, the 'En Remilly' vineyard benefits from a south-facing exposure and calcareous soils rich in limestone. Planted in 1988, these vines are cultivated using sustainable practices, including Guyot and Poussard pruning methods tailored to vine age and vigor. This meticulous vineyard management ensures a harmonious balance between fruit expression and mineral complexity. In the cellar, Fornerot employs a traditional yet precise approach to winemaking. Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press, with the juice settling naturally before fermentation in French oak barrels using indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes 15 months of aging in barrels, 15% of which are new, followed by an additional 3 months in vats prior to bottling. This regimen imparts subtle oak nuances while preserving the wine's inherent freshness and tension. The 2023 'En Remilly' Blanc presents a pale yellow hue and offers mineral-driven aromas that lead to a palate characterized by richness and tension. Its vibrant acidity and layered complexity make it an excellent companion to noble fish dishes. While approachable in its youth, this wine is poised to evolve gracefully over the next 3 to 10 years, rewarding those who appreciate the nuanced interplay of terroir and craftsmanship .
