En Remilly is another of the Lamy benchmarks. Above the Côte de Beaune’s Grand Cru vineyards, it produces one of his finest and most sought-after wines. Olivier has two hectares in this vineyard (planted in 1989) across two distinct parcels just above the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru. One of these parcels is quite near his Clos de la Chatenière vineyard and is a warmer terroir on a loosely knit mix of clay and limestone. The second is a far rockier site, on almost pure limestone, directly adjacent to Chevalier. This latter parcel brings a cutting tension to the former’s fleshy, layered fruit. This wine is not only a benchmark of Lamy (like the wines above and below) but a white Burgundy benchmark! Unfortunately, in 2021, the Remilly terroir was one of the most impacted by the frost in April: final yields barely reached 5 hectoliters per hectare—down 90% compared to a “normal” harvest! Even more frustrating when you know the amazing quality on offer – Grand Cru quality!
