A wine of reserve and nobility, the 2018 Le Montrachet Grand Cru is superb. Fresh, vibrant and explosive in the early going, the Remoissenet Montrachet opens up beautifully in the glass. Striking aromatics and rich fruit play off the wine’s natural energy so well. Readers will want to cellar the 2018 for at least a few years to allow some of its natural exuberance to emerge more fully. There is so much to look forward to. - Antonio Galloni

The 2013 Le Montrachet Grand Cru has a tightly wound, peppermint-tinged bouquet that takes time to unfurl. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, not dissimilar to the Bâtard-Montrachet in style, building gently to an orange peel and lemongrass-tinged finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. This is a fine Montrachet if not the best example that I have tasted from barrel this vintage.

The 2012 Le Montrachet Grand Cru is bestowed with a complex, mineral-driven, quite tertiary bouquet that would hold its own in a blind Montrachet shoot-out. The palate is concentrated with a hint of licorice joining the citrus fruit, notes of walnut and ginger that fan out on the long peacocks tail finish. This is an impressive Montrachet. You may have heard of Pierre-Antoine Rovani. One of Burgundy’s most shy and retiring members, he was his usual taciturn self, uttering all but one or two words during my Sunday afternoon tasting of 2012s in Remoissenet’s 14th century cellars, just off the Beaune peripherique. You know the story here: the name reborn in 2005 when outside investors prompted a Damascene resurrection of what had fundamentally been an also-ran bottling operation, into a quality-driven concern and vinifying wines themselves. Their policy is to buy at premium in order to acquire the best fruit, except for the 2.5-hectare of vineyard that they own themselves. With general manager and former Louis Jadot president Bernard Repolt, winemaker Claudine Jobard and chef de culture Fred Le Prince (a wonderful name that sounds like a lost bassist from Funkadelic), this has been one of the region’s recent success stories. They recently purchased the cuverie at Chateau de Chorey to make the Bourgogne Rouge and Givry Village. They use “342s” as Pierre Antoine referred to them i.e. 342-litre barrels casks for vinifying most of their wines. They have a large portfolio of both domaine and negociant wines that I tasted at a leisurely pace on a Sunday afternoon. And I must say, I was impressed by their 2012s. Sure, not everything hits the spot with such a comprehensive and diverse array of wines, but the fact is that many crus showed very well. As Rovani mentioned, there is a gap in the market for affordable Burgundy, one that will surely expand as the top names become prohibitively expensive for mere mortals. That is where Remoissenet can fit in and having overhauled their reds, it sounds as if they will be working on ameliorating their whites in future years, not that they are anything to be ashamed of now. Hey, and you know what? Even Pierre-Antoine was beginning to lose his inhibition and comes out of his shell by the end of the tasting. Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.

Stunningly beautiful, the 2010 Le Montrachet (from Chassagne) boasts gorgeous aromatic nuance, beautifully delineated fruit and tons of energy. The exuberance of the fruit is nicely balanced by veins of intense underlying minerality. The Montrachet was aged in 2 350-liter barrels and one standard 228-liter barrel. The use of the larger barrels helped preserve a level of tension and pure energy that isn’t always present in the Remoissenet wines. In 2010, Le Montrachet is simply stunning. Wow. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. I was very impressed with the 2010 whites I tasted at Remoissenet this year. While most of the top wines are terrific, personally I find just as much pleasure in the many delicious offerings from humbler appellations in this extensive range. Remoissenet purchases fruit and/or wines for many of their offerings. I would not be surprised if there is less competition for the fruit/wines from those less prestigious appellations, which makes it easier to source top quality raw materials. As always, Remoissenet strives for a style built on full phenolic ripeness and harvests that are on the late side relative to most estates. My favorite wines are those where the richness of the fruit is accompanied by complementary minerality and vibrancy. I also tasted a handful of reds from Remoissenet’s Cellar Collection. These are wines that have been cellared in Remoissenet’s cellars for several decades. Prior to being re-released, the wines are decanted to remove sediment, topped up and sealed with a new cork.

The 2009 Le Montrachet Grand Cru offers an olfactory sensation of sitting on a Triumph motorcycle and revving it up, ready to go. It has a vibrant, captivating bouquet with tremendous vigor, candied peach, tangerine, minerals and a touch of orange zest that surface with time. The palate is powerful, as one would expect from a Montrachet, with suggestions of white chocolate, lemon rind, shaved almond and just a dab of warm alcohol toward the finish lending it weight and gravitas. This is a superb Montrachet that will give pleasure over the next three decades. Drink now-2030+ In February, Pierre-Antoine Rovani and Bernard Repolt trekked over to London to present a range of both recent and older vintages for their UK importer, Averys. If anyone needed convincing that Remoissenet can truly deliver at the top level, then one needs go no further than the stupendous Charmes-Chambertin 2011 that is among the best I have encountered with respect to that vintage. Perhaps with such a large portfolio of crus, gems likes these can get lost in the flurry of reviews, but they can only serve to enhance their reputation among Burgundy cognoscenti.

The 2009 Le Montrachet, from a parcel on the Chassagne side, is fabulous. Layers of exotic, tropical fruit flow effortlessly from this broad-shouldered, kaleidoscopic wine. There is plenty of freshness in the glass to support the fruit in this magical, captivating wine. I especially like the way this turns delicate, subtle and refined on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. This is a thrilling set of whites from Remoissenet. I have to say, I expected a little more when I tasted the 2009 reds from bottle earlier this year given the significant investments that have taken place here over the last few years. To be fair, though, I liked the 2008 reds I tasted better. But it is with these 2009 whites that the Remoissenet truly shows its potential. This is a fabulous lineup, notable for both its consistency throughout the range as well as for a number of ridiculously priced bargains. It seems pretty clear that winemaker Claudine Jobard has a special touch when it comes to whites. Readers should do whatever they can to check out the marvelous wines. Remoissenet began picking on September 20, very late by the standards of 2009. The wines are rich, ripe and sensual but not at all overdone. A number of the wines were aged partially or entirely in 350 liter barrels, which helped maintain an element of freshness. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to taste the 2010s as they were still in malo, but I did taste a handful of 2008s. Stylistically the Remoissenet wines (both white and red) tend towards the richer end of the spectrum. Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.

The 2008 Le Montrachet is a bit reserved at this stage. It shows good depth and energy in its fruit, yet remains heavily marked by the oak, which dominates the flavor profile and also dries out the finish a bit. I much prefer the approach the Maison took with the 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. This is a thrilling set of whites from Remoissenet.

The Remoissenet 2007 Montrachet (of which there are 7 barrels) is even more musky, decadent, and redolent of ripe peach on the nose than the corresponding Batard. It's also denser on the palate, with a scintillating liquid concentration of heady lily and heliotrope perfume. Polished and creamy in texture, this is persistently expansive and soothing rather than dynamic in the manner of the Batard, with hints of vanilla, toast, and caramel adding a faintly confectionary tone. This Montrachet transcends the vintage norm in terms of sheer richness and suggestions of sweetness – the personality of the Batard being more vintage-typical – and one can look for some additional complexity as its baby fat wears off over the next half a dozen or more years. The well-known if not always entirely venerable house of Remoissenet began a new life in 2005 when it was purchased by investors and wine lovers Edward and Howard Milstein of New York; merchant Todd Halpern of Toronto; and (with a minority share) Louis Jadot. The new owners installed Jadot veteran Bernard Repot as manager and Claudie Jobard as winemaker to oversee less a renovation of the facilities than the establishment from scratch of a new winery. With one major exception (Le Montrachet) the revived Remoissenet has depended on establishing new sources of supply, a project that – along with marketing – is being spearheaded by long-time Wine Advocate associate Pierre-Antoine Rovani. The emphasis will be on contract fruit or must – although Remoissenet still owns acreage of Pinot Noir vines in and around Beaune – and then very selectively. Remoissenet's substantial share of Montrachet alone offers them a unique opportunity not only to bargain with growers, but to establish a high market profile, and the quality of 2007s here – following on the heels of an impressively rich if occasionally overly woody and ponderous collection of 2006s – confirms this as a negociant to be reckoned with. The barrels used here, incidentally, are now split between 350 liter capacity and standard 225 liter barriques. Importers include The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel.

Remoissenet enjoys a well-deserved reputation for his white wines. There is a tendency at this estate to block the malolactic, keep the wines off their lees, rack them frequently, and bottle them after a relatively vigorous filtration. The fact that so much remains in the wines makes one wonder what they would be like if they were not manipulated so much? The 1992s all reveal ripe fruit, higher acidity than most white burgundies (remember, the malolactic was blocked), and laudable purity. The 1992 Le Montrachet from Baron Thenard is impressive, but shy and understated when compared to Remoissenet's Corton-Charlemagne and Batard-Montrachet. It possesses the component parts to last for 10-15 or more years. Importer: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA and Stacole, Inc., Boca Raton, FL.

Last Tasted 6/92 The cork looked sound and the fill was excellent, but the wine was completely oxidized, with absolutely no fruit. Perhaps bad storage condition had snuffed out its life long ago. I am curious if any readers have had any experience with this wine?

This shows tightness and freshness, despite the density and richness. Very dense and flavorful. Full and layered with ripe peaches, white truffles and a very rich finish. Drink or hold.
