Feels quite serious, great grip. Good firmness to the fruit - yet still retains that acidity. Dark and slightly sinewy, with some darkness. Weighty fruit. Concentrated and dense. Really quite impressive!

Some fresh mint along with the black bramble fruit on the nose. Tender structure, loads of enjoyable primary fruit on the palate, light body and a touch of medicinal character on the finish. Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 Rating: 16.5 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)
Domaine Remy & Fils
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.
