Vineyard Les Avaux

70 year old vines between Beaune and Pommard, and Joël says it is the Pommard side influence which gives the finesse. All on white soils, full of limestone. Lovely depth of fruit and a sexy texture of weighty silk. Oak shows - this was bottled a week before I tasted, but there is real elegance. L&S (Jan 2013)

Firm and fine with some real bite. Confident and pretty impressive. 2015-2021 Rating: 16+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)

Domaine Joël Remy

A family domaine that extends back five generations to 1853, but which Joël has modernised considerably over the past twenty years, installing new fermentation and ageing equipment. Over the years his vinifications have changed, and the wines have a lot more immediacy and precision. The quality of fruit is not in doubt, as lovers of his Bourgogne Rouge from year to year will attest, and a lot of work in the vineyard contributes to this, including leaf-thinning towards the end of the growing season. In the winery he has installed a vibrating sorting table, and the only filtering is by a lens filter at very low pressure to avoid de-naturing the wines. All offer quite striking value.

In 2016 Joël was joined full-time by both his children, Maxime and Manon. There is a renewed air of excitement and ambition here. They are moving to slightly longer élevages over 18 months, with four to five months in cuve at the end.
