My second time with this producer after having the 2015 Les Frionnes a few weeks ago. I find the two to be quite different and definitely preferred the En Remilly. Aromatically, it shows caramel dipped Granny Smith apple, melon, pineapple, honeysuckle and a kiss of oak. Where it really differs from the Les Frionnes is the profile on the palate...much more texture and richness here. Classical chalk and limestone alongside more melon, underripe white peach, and the very end of the finish has a note of granulated brown sugar which is really unique (and enjoyable). It’s all wrapped in a nicely dense but quite lifted profile. The warmer it gets, the more honeyed it gets. I thought this was best just a tad warmer than cellar temp, and feel this would be a good bridge to white burgundy for those who enjoy quality US chards. Thanks to @David T again for the intro to this producer!

Clean nose, dominant acidic fruit flavors good complexity, well balanced moderate linger. Very pleasant and a great value.

Structured & youthful in an austere & linear style with notes of lemon, pear, green apple with crushed rock, saline & white flower. Hard to keep my hands off but this is built for the long haul with a great future.

Nice, I'm not brave enough to pull my corks yet, likely give it a few years.
