Remi has just over 7 hectares of vines in and around Morey-St.Denis. The vines are much older than average, with all of his Vieilles Vignes village bottlings being at least 50 years old, and the Morey St Denis over 60. This gives a natural concentration to the wines which are both well structured and elegant. Remi is a firm believer that wines are made in the vineyard and this shows through in the pure, concentrated style of the wines and the cautious use of new oak.
Domaine Remi Jeanniard Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
13.5% abv
From a single parcel of about a third of a hectare, planted in 1945 on deep sandy-clay soils with large, round pebbles, these are hand-harvested with sorting in the vineyard. The grapes undergo pre-fermentation cold maceration, followed by a three-week fermentation with 20% whole bunches, with pigeage or pumpovers when necessary.
Only indigenous yeasts are used. Some of the lees are left in contact with the wine for 1 year. Aged for one year in oak before light filtration and bottling.
The palate is an embodiment of seduction, exuding a succulent, spirited, and velvety demeanor. A sensation akin to crushed pepper or juniper berries, entwined with licorice, conjures the image of a wild thicket—a symposium of flavors. Simultaneously, a lively acidity, reminiscent of zesty citruses, playfully hints at the tang of fresh orange juice. True to its essence, a gentle note of tannin imparts the poised restraint anticipated. A captivating, saliva-inducing finish brings the tasting to a close.
Ultimately, even in the midst of a complex vintage, this wine retains its familiar character. Levin appears to triumph over the trial, asserting itself with an eortless grace.
Pairing: Roasted pork with garden-fresh vegetables or thyme. Ideal companions: Bresse chicken, capon.
