One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn’t like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

93pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE – 93 POINTS
The 2017 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru comes courtesy of 2.02ha of vine planted in 1989. There is a sense of completeness on the nose here: wonderful wet limestone and oyster shell notes, plenty of fruit and concentration. The palate is well balanced with a fresh opening, very saline in the mouth with a vibrant and sustained finish. This is a “killer” En Remilly.

92pts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE – 92 POINTS
Aromas of white flowers, lime cordial and ripe citrus fruit introduce the 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered wine with a tensile, tight-knit core, chewy extract, tangy acids and a stony finish. The wine’s mid-palate volume is classic Remilly but it’s as controlled and precise as all Lamy’s wines.

93pts Decanter Magazine– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE – 93 POINTS
With 2ha of vines in the middle and upper part of this premier cru, Olivier Lamy is a significant owner. Using 1% (yes, 1%!) new wood, this is fruit and soil-dominated, with notes of fennel and crème fraîche joined by chalky minerality and the crunchy acidity that comes with the territory when you pick this early.
