Côte de Nuits - Gevrey Chambertin

The name Remoissenet for serious collectors stands for refined, classic Burgundy wines. A leading light in Beaune for generations, this 150-year-old estate is now more than ever the definitive source for the finest wines Burgundy has to offer. Crucially, the team at Remoissenet wears two separate yet related hats. The first is as a high-quality, small-batch négociant, maintaining long-term and close relationships with growers up and down the Côte. The second is as a vine- growing estate with an expanding stable of Burgundy’s most lauded vineyards, all cared for fastidiously and according to biodynamic principles.

France~Burgundy Côte d'Or: Remoissenet Pére & Fils

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.

Wandering through the 150-year-old estate’s hand-carved cellars is to travel back in time, each cool bottle telling a story of vintages past, wars won, anniversaries celebrated. Yet among these bottled memories are barrels of stories to come: older vines tended according to biodynamic methods, unique terroirs selected with the utmost care and in micro-quantities.

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.
