Gilles Bouton, Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, 1995
🏰 【A beautifully aged white Burgundy from a renowned Premier Cru vineyard, showcasing evolved complexity and finesse.】 Saint-Aubin, a discreet yet remarkable appellation in Burgundy, is celebrated for the quality of its white wines, often likened to those of its illustrious neighbors, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The "En Remilly" Premier Cru is particularly noted for offering wines of beautiful tension and great finesse. The terroir, rooted in marl and limestone soils, imparts remarkable minerality and structure to the wine. The 1995 vintage is now mature, offering wonderfully evolved characteristics.
🍴 This mature Saint-Aubin 1er Cru is ideal with scallop carpaccio with citrus fruits and fiery olive oil, or foie gras with lime zest and candied dates. It also naturally complements refined cuisine such as asparagus, poularde with morels, sole meunière, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, or poached eggs with truffles. It pairs well with chicken and turkey.
🥂 This mature Saint-Aubin 1er Cru is perfect for a special anniversary dinner or a gathering of wine lovers who appreciate the complexity and evolution of aged white Burgundy. It's a fantastic choice for a celebratory meal.
For a 1995 vintage, expect an old wine style. It should be served at 10-12°C (50-54°F). Given its age, carefully check the cork and capsule for any signs of deterioration. Decanting for a short period (30-60 minutes) might help it open up and express its tertiary aromas, but be mindful that very old wines can be delicate, and excessive aeration might diminish their subtle nuances. Serve with a positive expectation of its aged character, appreciating the journey it has taken.
