Remoissenet Père et Fils Echezeaux Grand Cru Burgundy 2019

We can’t deny having an obsession for the euphoria-inducing wines of Burgundy. The important role their terroirs play in each sip - oh my, don’t get me started. Perhaps common, perhaps uncommon knowledge to you, Remoissenet sits high on our list at ACME for being one of the most refined and classic wine houses in Burgundy. The Remoissenet wines might actually have the capacity to induce tranquility for starters, and we personally believe wines this flawless, this distinguished, this captivating, and this lavish validate what your senses might be suggesting--putting a figurative “do not disturb” sign on your door so when you pour your first glass from the bottle, you can focus on the qualities that provide a state of peaceful bliss. Don’t you need that? Of course, you deserve it.

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.

Selected (purchased) fruit from lieu-dit ‘Les Poulaillères,’ located in the heart of the grand cru vineyard and widely held as one with the most favorable soils. Topsoils are thin and delicate here, with more solid limestone subsoils. Exhibiting aromas of red and black cherries, peppery spice, smoke and notes of cocoa bean, this wine is concentrated and layered with structured tannins and a beautifully long and lithe finish.
