A white burgundy from cellars built into Beaune’s medieval walls.
The story
Remoissenet is a Beaune house founded in 1877, and its hand-carved cellars are built into the town’s medieval fortifications. In 2005 it got new owners and new leadership under Pierre-Antoine Rovani, formerly of the Wine Advocate. Claudie Jobard makes the wines with a non-interventionist approach. This Bourgogne Blanc is the house style in an everyday bottle: estate-selected Chardonnay, including fruit from Puligny-Montrachet plots, hand-harvested and fermented on native yeasts.
In the glass
Wet stones and crushed seashells, honeysuckle and acacia. The palate has golden apple, apricot and blood orange, with a toasty walnut note and a pinch of baking spice. Creamy texture, crisp acidity and a silky finish.
