Description

Information:

Estate-owned, biodynamically farmed vines are contiguous with and located above premier cru ‘Clos des Mouches.’ The steep, high-altitude ‘Montagne Saint-Désiré’ vineyard sits at the summit of the “mountain” of Saint-Désiré, facing south/southeast. The clay topsoil is thin; subsoils pure limestone, the “mother rock” of Burgundy.

The name Remoissenet for serious collectors stands for refined, classic Burgundy wines. 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.
