Remoissenet Bourgogne Blanc 2018

Remoissenet Père et Fils Bourgogne Blanc

The name Remoissenet stands for refined, classic Burgundy wines amongst collectors. A leading light in Beaune, this 150-year-old estate is a definitive source for the finest wines Burgundy has to offer. 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 according to biodynamic principles.

Winemaking is philosophically non-interventionist, with winemaker Claudie Jobard preferring to “let the grapes speak” as clearly as possible. Portions of the fruit for this wine were sourced from declassified villages of both Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. The grapes were pressed in full-clusters and fermented on indigenous yeasts in 342L French oak barrels as well as in stainless steel tanks. Aged in both barrel and tank. This stunning Chardonnay punches way above its weight year after year. It is fresh and lively yet silky with full flavors of citrus and pear.
