  • 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. ***
