Along with Lamy and Colin-Morey, De Montille produces one of the great examples of En Remilly.
This helps to explain why De Montille's En Remilly has become a pillar of our Burgundy program.
Saint Aubin's 1er Cru En Remilly is a go-to for many Burgundy fanatics.

The site pulls in everyone from collectors to value seekers. Not many other places offer white Burgundies at this level for this price. After all, En Remilly sits just behind the Grand Cru Le Montrachet.
Compared to the En Remilly from Lamy and Colin-Morey, De Montille maintains a decidedly lower profile. It's a shame because De Montille produces a great example of En Remilly. The upside is that it translates to some serious value.
De Montille's range is dizzying, covering top sites for white and red Burgundy. While more famous for their red Burgundies, their Corton-Charlemagne, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, and Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly are some of the great, unsung white Burgundies.
The 2023 1er Cru En Remilly is a testament to De Montille's incredible skills of crafting white Burgundy. De Montille has a prime, mid-slope parcel in En Remilly composed of mostly 70-year-old vines. The combination of En Remilly's stony soils and their old vines endows the 2023 with a kinetic minerality and a gripping presence.
This is an impressive vintage for the wine. Everything feels perfectly proportioned, and it's beautifully balanced.Â

Burghound: "A discreet if still easily perceptible dollop of oak can be found on the lightly exotic aromas of citrus confit and white peach. There is both good precision and underlying tension to the acceptably concentrated flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the agreeably dry, clean and persistent finish. This easy-to-like effort could use better depth so a few years of bottle aging should help."
