Remoissenet Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru 2020
This 2020 Blanchot has an ultra-expressive bouquet of white peach, vanilla, and hints of toasted popcorn. Crisp and refreshing layers of citrus and baked apples around a rich core of classic Grand Cru Chablis elegance. This is supremely refreshing now and will continue to impress discerning connoisseurs through 2030. – November 2022
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 Côte; 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.
