2024 Bruno Colin - Chassagne Montrachet Remilly (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]
En Remilly sits at the edge of Chassagne-Montrachet, bordering Puligny-Montrachet and lying close to the celebrated grand cru vineyards that define the appellation's reputation. Bruno Colin farms a small parcel here, just under half a hectare shared among only a handful of growers, on clay-limestone soil ideally suited to producing Chardonnay that leans toward tension and refinement rather than weight. Since taking over part of his family's historic domaine in 2003, Bruno has built a reputation for precise, minerally whites across his eight Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru sites, and En Remilly is often considered one of the standouts among them for its proximity in style to neighboring Puligny.
In the demanding 2024 vintage, this cuvée continues that tradition, showing brightness and an almost ethereal balance rather than sheer richness. Expect a taut, saline structure with fine chalky texture, layered orchard fruit, and citrus notes carried by real underlying energy. The wine benefits from around twelve months in oak, a portion of it new, followed by additional time in tank to round out its freshness and depth before bottling.
Serve chilled in a proper white Burgundy glass, and give it a generous decant if drinking young. This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, roast poultry, or delicate cream sauces.
