About the Producer
Gilles Remoriquet, the fourth generation of Domaine Remoriquet and currently vice-president of the technical committee for the Burgundy vines, began his family's winemaking life with the purchase of Les Allots in Nuits St Georges by his grandparents; after receiving a degree in oenology from the University of Dijon in 1979 After receiving a degree in winemaking from the University of Dijon in 1979, his father, Henri, took over 10 hectares of vineyards, including the famous first growth of Au Dessus des Malconsorts (adjacent to La Tache), Les St Georges (a first growth of Grand Cru quality from the NSG), Les Damodes (adjacent to Vsone Romanee) and many others. Romanee), etc. Domaine Remoriquet is a natural farming and winemaking company, with fermentations done in concrete vats, keeping about 10-15% of the stems in place at the right time. In order not to let the excess barrel flavours affect the wine itself, no more than 30% of new oak barrels are used for maturation, giving the wine its most natural and untouched style. The wine is full-bodied, with strong, firm but nuanced tannins, a hint of spice and a long, lingering finish.
