Founded in 1877, Remoissenet Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s historic merchant houses, headquartered in Beaune above a vast network of centuries-old cellars that still cradle bottles dating back generations. After a period of dormancy, the house underwent a major quality renaissance beginning in 2005, tightening its grower relationships, prioritizing low yields and sustainable farming, and re-centering its philosophy around precision and restraint. Under the guidance of an elite technical team—including Bernard Répolt, whose extraordinary sensory acuity earned him the nickname the “million-dollar nose,” and winemaker Claudie Jobard, a staunch minimalist in the cellar—Remoissenet has reclaimed its place as a serious source for classically styled Burgundy.

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges captures the appellation’s defining character: structure, minerality, and savory depth anchored in limestone-rich soils. Sourced from carefully selected parcels and vinified with indigenous yeasts, the wine is raised with measured oak influence to preserve clarity of fruit and site expression. The result is a Pinot Noir that favors tension over excess—layered red fruit, floral lift, subtle earth, and a firm, finely etched backbone that speaks unmistakably of the Côte de Nuits. It’s immediately engaging with air, yet built with the balance and discipline to evolve gracefully over the next decade.
