Another inspiring white wine from Burgundy’s celebrated 2019 vintage, this supremely delcious new arrival dazzled us with a galaxy of elegant fresh fruit flavors. The bouquet launched forth with audacious notes of honeysuckle and fresh gingerbread. The velvety rich texture leads to mesmerizing flavors including grilled pineapple, pears, poached apples, lemon crème Brule, and even subtle hints of coconut cream pie on the lengthy finish. This truly remarkable (+ rare) nectar may be enjoyed now – – decanting recommended prior to 2024 – – through the end of this decade.

Remoissenet Pere & Fils Winery

Remoissenet Père et Fils is a reference point for refined Burgundy wines. This ancient estate, connected by mortar and stone to the medieval walls of Beaune, is for serious collectors linked by vine and bottle to Burgundy’s hallowed past and its exciting future. In 2005, Remoissenet started the next chapter in its generations-long history. With new owners and renewed leadership under Pierre-Antoine Rovani (formerly of the Wine Advocate) and Bernard Repolt (Maison Louis Jadot), the estate is bringing more vineyards under its own roof and importantly, raising the qualitative bar for itself and its vine-growing partners across the board.

The team at Remoissenet wears two hats: one, as a high-quality, small-batch négociant, cultivating close relationships with vine-growers up and down the Cote; and two, as a vine-growing estate, with select vineyards, the majority of which are located in Beaune and Gevrey-Chambertin, cared for according to biodynamic principles. The estate works with its vine-growers in a fashion not usual for France: grapes are purchased not by quantity but by quality, with bonuses offered if quality is exceptional. This ensures that Remoissenet gets the finest grapes, regardless of vintage. At harvest, three sorting tables are used (not to mention hundreds of hands) to ensure only the most pristine fruit makes its way into the cellar.
