Côtes-du-Rhône Les Arbousiers La Réméjeanne 2016

The wine

Made up of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this wine comes from 25-year-old vines. The grapes are harvested by hand before being destemmed and pressed. A cold maceration takes place before fermentation. The juice is put in vats for 30 days at 26-28 degrees. Vinification involves no added sulphur, and the wine is matured in vats for an average of 12 months. A cuvée with aromas of spices, tobacco and red fruits. The 2015 vintage received a score of 17/20 from Bettane&Desseauve.

The story of this Rhône Valley domain began in the 1960s, when Remy Klein, originally from Alsace, decided to purchase five hectares in Réméjeanne. The 35-hectare domain is run by Rémy and his son Olivier, who came to the domain in 2010. There is a spirit of authenticity that brings them together, a work ethic that has led them to certify their domain in organic production. The wines made here are notable for their finesse and their elegance, tense but also fresh.
