Remoissenet Père et Fils, Bourgogne Blanc

Today’s stunning example of Bourgogne Blanc is an overachiever, to say the least. An interesting blend of parcels, this wine is derived from declassified fruit from younger vineyards in both Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. All fruit is hand-harvested and the Chardonnay is pressed whole cluster back at the cellar. Following a spontaneous fermentation in a combination of French barrels (30% new) and stainless steel, the resulting wine continues maturing on its fine lees in these same vessels. It is bottled the following year without filtration. 

The combination offers incredible freshness, staggering minerality, and generous texture that belies its Bourgogne Blanc label. Being one of the more expensive négociant houses in Burgundy for its Premier and Grand Cru bottlings, today’s wine represents a rare steal. In a blind tasting, it performs similarly to a Puligny-Montrachet with beautiful elegance and mineral complexity.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
