We think 10-12 years is about perfect maturation for village level Burgundies, and this is a classic example. From the good 2014 vintage, this is a soft textured red with good intensity of fruit on the palate. There is a hint of sweet spice in the background and a hint of earthy maturity. In all a delightful and well matured Pinot Noir.
Gilles Remoriquet is not a winemaker who rests on his laurels. He is forever looking for ways to improve his wines. Most recently he has been to the Jura to see a specialist about selecting the right blend of manure and has bought a second sorting table which eliminates under-ripe berries by flotation! Cuvaisons are long, giving a light colour yet concentrated, intense fruit flavours. Remoriquet is one of the top estates in Nuits but the prices have yet to catch up. At the top of the range the Vosne-Romannée 1er Cru au dessous des Malconsorts is situated next to La Tâche and tastes like it is!
