Remoissenet Père et Fils Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Burgundy 2018

The name Remoissenet for serious collectors stands for refined, classic Burgundy wines. Founded in Beaune in 1877 it was run as a négociant and producer for the last part of the 20th century by the venerable Roland Remoissenet. Retiring in 2005, Remoissenet handed over his estate and vineyards to new owners; a New York financier Edward Millstein (an avid Burgundy collector) along with Pierre-Antoine Rovani (formerly of the Wine Advocate) and Bernard Répolt (Maison Louis Jadot). With this purchase came the entire contents of the famed, historic cellar; the most extensive cellar of aged Burgundy in the world that was solely in the care of Remoissenet’s hands up until that point. Within these caves built in the 1300s, connecting the cellar through medieval walls to the town of Beaune itself, lies a treasure trove of historical bottlings, effectively a museum loaded with priceless art.
