Gentle tickle again on the tongue, a little residual CO2 from the tank - this will be gone at bottling. After the Bourgogne this suddenly feels much more serious and less open for now - but nice amplitude and depth. Very concentrated, Will be great I am sure if a little grumpy this morning as it is so clearly stacked and packed. Just needs some time to soften up. Super fine tannins though nothing aggressive, just a tad tight for now. L&S (Oct 2023)

It is not the first time that this bargain-priced wine has appeared in my Reports. With perfect levels of extraction and gentle oak, this is a carefully made wine that will need a year or two but will sing with perfect pitch when called upon. Remy’s 2022 Aloxe-Corton La Combe (£315 per case of 12; 17.5/20) is another winner, and it will jog along happily 12 months behind Les Beaumonts, offering even more perfume and pizzaz.

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 eighteen months, with four to five months in cuve at the end. The reds get 25% new wood, but after racking (after about a year) they are put into old barrels.
