A superb bottle. No signs of oxidation. Aromas of rich, ripe oranges, peaches, pears, mint, flowers with an integrated vanilla underlay give way to lush, powerful flavors backed by silky mineral grip and resonating length. This is a big wine, but it has the acid/mineral structure to balance the concentration.

The rollercoaster ride through this case continues. Brown sediment in the bottle. Full straw to light gold. Butterscotch popcorn nose. At first glance poxed, but while rich and advanced it’s fresher on the palate, more in the mould of a maturing old school burgundy from a ripe vintage. Holds nicely from lunch to supper and goes nicely with cep and pumpkin tart. Lightens further after a few hours. Really good grippy mouthfeel, lots of texture here. Moderate length. Far from classic PYCM, but if you’re prepared for it, there’s plenty of interest here in a richer vein. ****

Lovely, rich nose of lemon preserves, mint, and minerals. Great acidity with lemon, minerals, lemon zest, and saline notes on the palate. Long finish. Fantastic wine! Loved the balanced between richness, acidity, and minerality.

Previous bottles have been seemingly too advanced, not so much oxidised as over-ripe and very advanced with caramel toffee apple flavours. This was a deep yellow rather than gold, and wonderfully leesy rich on the nose, good weight, and then the vibrant cut and mineral line I’d expect from en Remilly’s relative altitude. Underlying weight and power. A lithe and expressive bottle with years ahead, and not the slightest hint of anything reductive. Hopefully, five bottles in to the case, this has turned a corner and is representative rather than merely bottle variation. ****

Full straw to mid gold. Advanced appearance. Banoffee pie character to the nose. Consistent with previous bottles. There’s almost a sense of sur maturité and botrytis here. Full and ripe on the palate, quite broad and foursquare. I vacillate between thinking this a clumsy and overdone wine, and thinking it has potential, albeit on the rich side. I think I’m back to the former with this bottle. It went well enough with lobster frites, but felt a chore to finish the bottle between two, which isn’t really a characteristic of PYCM. 4 bottles in to the case and they’ve all been the same. ***

Many PYCM 2010 bottles from several cuvees I have tasted recently have been ageing faster than normal. This bottle of Chassagne En Remilly is reaching towards its peak. Rich and ripe orchard fruits, slightly tropical with a smoky finish. Very leesy and textured. Big-boned for a Chassagne En Remilly, which generally tends to be leaner with more minerality. Already lost most of its textbook PYCM reduction. Drink now – 2023. (88/100)

Curious one this. Dark in the bottle, with fine sediment dropping out of it. Deep gold in colour and a very pronounced nose of toffee and caramel. Uh-oh. Ripe and full on the attack, not what one expects with PY at all. Very mineral with lots of cut on the finish though. Hugely advanced front end, and youthful backend. It’s not poxed. Over a further couple of nights this pulls together, still right at the front, but the back integrates, shows some really quite chewy chalky density, and comes across as a ripe but balanced expression of Chassagne, hinting at some of its more senior neighbours. I think I underestimated my initial two bottles of this. I’m now in a bit of a dilemma as to whether to plough on before the oxy ripeness gets more pronounced, or whether to see what happens. Maybe decant in advance and carry on drinking. Anyway, not quite what I expected, or to my style, but objectively this is around **** / 92.

I’ve been fortunate enough to drink many bottles from PYCM this year and almost all have been in great shape. One of the more advanced (beyond its vintage) was this wine, so I Opened with some nervousness, but nothing to fear this bottle was superb and would have had a long life ahead. 2010 seems to have proven the most challenging for the domaine, but otherwise I have been really encouraged and impressed with the consistency of quality of wines being made across a wide range of vineyards. Quite golden in colour. Smoky and flinty. Slightly savoury on the nose. Salty. Many of the classic hallmarks of the domaine Really intense on the palate. Lots of depth and power. Citrus notes. More flint, smoke and minerality. This wine remains quite young. Typically I think the domaine Owens need at least 10 years in bottle to shed some of their linear intensity. This wine is no different.

2/12 Bottle opened for a taste immediately after opening previous (advanced) bottle and then recorked for 60hrs. Remains consistent from when first tasted with no further advance. Ripe, far more open and evolved than ideal, but perhaps a little less caramel than the previous bottle. Just a hint of sweetness around the edges. Lacks the minerality and drive of other PYCM wines, a little flabby with a slight gap towards the end of the mid-palate, but overall better than the tasting sample a couple of days ago suggested. Drink up with rich food. ***

1/12 Mid to full gold colour. Evolved and very ripe with toffee aromas on the nose. Similar on palate, not poxed, but very advanced and heading that way. Cork tight and goes back in bottle wet-side down. Fine brown sediment towards the bottom of the bottle. Doesn’t get worse but doesn’t improve either. Ripe, quite rich, some tropical aromas but also a little banana. Toffee apple. Moderate length. Quite drinkable but not what it should be. Taken to lunch and checked beforehand — a second bottle opened to check with same characteristics, so that one re-corked for the weekend; we’ll see. This bottle ***

Arguably PYCM makes the best wine in Chassagne Montrachet En Remilly, a mere 1.5 ha vineyard located right next to Chevalier Montrachet, however I find moost Chassagne En Remilly has closer resemblance with Saint Aubin En Remilly than Chevalier Montrachet. Tasted blind - Natural yeasty and brioche-y notes, low sulphur, zingy orchard fruits and textured cream. Young and leesy, generous on the palate. Saint Aubin 1er Cru? reminds me of PYCM? 2014? (90/100)

An amazing wine of depth, complexity and precision. Grand Cru quality all the way. Slight gold color with a nose of minerals, ripe citrus and caramel. On the initial palate the wine is dense and concentrated with flavors of orchard fruits and citrus which gave way to a more refined and complex medley of minerals and white flowers, with a long finish. Drinking well now but can hold and probably get a bit better over a few more years. In a nut-shell, an amazing white Burg.

wow this wine is big (and young), surfboard wax on the nose, intense flavor profile that is almost painful, loads of energy and mouth-puckering with big big acid and intense lemon, lemon rind, orange rind with mineral underpinning, also some spearmint on the finish, i suspect (absent premox) that this could be blockbuster in 10 years plus… this is one powerful wine without any sense of wood, love burgundy!!

Painfully primary at first. Needs almost two hours to get civilized, but after that this is a finely balanced wine with lots of extract and great intensity. A really solid 1er Cru that appears to be built for long aging.

A lost Friday afternoon gathering – Mostly blind, some double blind (Blacksalt, Washington DC): RJ initially mentions TCA. It is really cold and I don’t detect. As warms up, more pronounced TCA. This is deeper, more mature and concentrated than the second wine which makes it easy to guess.

Different from th St. Aubin En Remilly. En mag.
Ripe nectarines, honey, pineapple, matchstick, nice weight. Some chalk and limestone. Nice lingering finish. A touch tropical but works well.
It wasn't until later we found out that the Chassagne En Remilly is touching Chevalier Momtrachet.
