Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Christophe Rémizières (Domaine des) 2003

The wine

This Cuvée Christophe is made with 30-year-old Marsanne and Roussanne vines cultivated on clay and limestone slopes. It is vinified in wood (30% new and 70% second fill) and undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques. Before 10 months of maturation, the lees are stirred a few times. Unsurprisingly the wine is creamy, complex, generous and perfectly structured, with potential to successfully stand the test of time. Pairing with gourmet dishes is highly recommended.

About the Producer Domaine des Remizières

The family Domaine des Rémizières has been passed down for generations and will no doubt stay in the family for many more. In just a few years the domaine has changed significantly, passing from 4 ha of vines whose grapes were sold to the local negoçiant, to 35 ha and vinification at the domaine. Today, Emilie and her brother Christophe manage the parcels of vines that span over several communes: Mercurol, Crozes-Hermitage, Tain L'Hermitage, Larnage, La Roche de Glun, Saint-Jean de Muzols and Vion.
