Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers Remoissenet Père et Fils 2011

The wine

The estate strives to sublimate all the facets of the terroir it cherishes through balanced, meticulous viticulture and low yields. The Pinot Noir vines, planted between 280 and 380 metres, climb on thin brown limestone soils where they draw all the nutrients they require to thrive. These grapes, with their great elegance and extraordinary aromatic potential, are harvested and vinified according to traditional methods, with minimum intervention.
The ruddy-red colour reveals a delicate nose combining rich notes of redcurrant and subtle aromas of undergrowth. The ample and generous palate reveals delicious aromas of red fruit mingling with subtle hints of leather, leading to a persistent and perfectly structured finish. A 100% Pinot Noir bears all the hallmarks of a great Burgundy, with promising ageing potential.

Maison Remoissenet Père & Fils was founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Pierre Alfred Remoissenet. In 2004, his great grandson, Roland Remoissenet, decided to hand it over and sold the domaine to Eddy & Howard Milstein, New York bankers and wine collectors. The latter then entrusted the general management to Bernard Repolt, a HEC business school graduate who had previously managed Maison Jadot, the son of doctors from Beaune. There he produces high quality wines which are precise, concentrated, reflect their soil and which are blessed with supple tannins and fine balance.
