En Remilly (1er Cru, Chassagne-Montrachet)

En Remilly occupies a privileged position at the upper reaches of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, sitting directly adjacent to the Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet. Uniquely, the climat connects three communes: Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin. This boundary location places it at one of the most prestigious intersections on the Côte de Beaune, sharing terrain characteristics with its illustrious Grand Cru neighbor while carrying the Premier Cru classification.

• Borders Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet to the north
• Sits at the commune boundaries of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin
• Elevation of 220 to 325 meters provides altitude-driven freshness
• South to southwest aspect ensures generous ripening potential

The soils of En Remilly consist of clay-limestone with a pebbly, calcareous topsoil. This combination is typical of the upper Côte de Beaune, where limestone bedrock dominates and contributes directly to the mineral signature found in the wines. The continental climate delivers warm, dry summers that promote full phenolic ripeness in Chardonnay, while cool winters maintain vine health and natural acidity. The elevated, stony terroir drains well, preventing excess moisture retention and concentrating flavors in the fruit.

• Clay-limestone base with pebbly, calcareous topsoil
• Continental climate with warm summers and cool winters
• Good natural drainage from stony, elevated terrain
• Limestone influence drives the mineral character in finished wines

En Remilly produces exclusively dry white Chardonnay. The combination of its calcareous soils, elevated position, and proximity to Chevalier-Montrachet results in wines with pronounced minerality supported by citrus-driven fruit. The wines carry the structure and tension expected from high-elevation, limestone-influenced Burgundy, with the south-to-southwest aspect providing enough warmth to achieve full ripeness without sacrificing freshness. Given the tiny total area and the handful of producers working the climat, individual bottles are relatively scarce and sought after by collectors.

• Exclusively dry white Chardonnay from the Premier Cru classification
• Mineral-driven style with citrus notes as the primary fruit character
• Structure and tension from limestone soils and elevated terrain
• Scarcity driven by the 1.56-hectare total area and six producers

With only approximately six producers working the climat, En Remilly is dominated by small, family-run domaines. Bruno Colin and Philippe Colin, both members of the prominent Colin family of Chassagne-Montrachet, hold parcels here and bring their house style of precise, terroir-focused white Burgundy to the climat. Pierre-Henri Rougeot and Buisson-Charles round out the roster of notable names. The Colin family's longstanding presence in Chassagne-Montrachet gives their En Remilly bottlings particular credibility among collectors familiar with the appellation.

• Bruno Colin: respected Chassagne-Montrachet producer with strong Premier Cru portfolio
• Philippe Colin: precision-focused domaine with deep Chassagne roots
• Pierre-Henri Rougeot: smaller producer offering terroir-driven expression
• Buisson-Charles: noted Burgundy negociant and domaine with quality Premier Cru holdings
