The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years.
Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced.

What the critics say:
"50 barrels have been made from 1.8ha. Their plot avoids hydric stress, I am told. Pale fresh colour, plenty of clean fruit on the nose, nothing roasted. Pure white fruit with generosity. A steely core with a lot more fruit in reserve. Very good. Tasted Oct 2024 ****"
"The 2023 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet of crushed stone and sea spray that translates its terroir with aplomb. The palate is well defined with crisp acidity, a pleasant twist of sour lemon, fine weight and good length. It is perhaps not quite as complex as the best En Remilly this vintage but a "delicious drop" (as they say). "
"Really exciting and mouth-filing. Glorious, though admittedly early maturing!"
