We had a great response to yesterday's offer for aged Grand Cru Reds from Domaine Louis Remy. We don't have a lot left. If you were thinking about picking up some of these great value for money wines please act quickly.
John Gilman, A View from the Cellar
"I had been mistakenly under the impression that the Domaine Louis Remy had ceased to
exist when Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy had purchased the lion's share of their vineyards and cellar stocks of older vintages in 1989. But apparently, Madame Chantal Remy had kept a slice
of a few vineyards and the rights to the name of the estate....Like a few of the old school holdouts in the Burgundy firmament of today, Madame Remy holds back her wines until they have had several years of bottle age in her cellars prior to releasing them into the
market..... From what I understand, Madame Chantal Remy retained one third of the family's vineyard
parcels in the immediate aftermath of the sale to Madame Bize-Leroy."
"The Remy wines are made quite traditionally, with only one third new oak utilized for the grand crus, less for the two premier crus and the wines bottled by gravity two years after the harvest, with no fining or filtration. These are very much old school Burgundies that recall a bit the style of Jacky Truchot's wines in his heyday- decidedly lighter in color that most, delicate and perfumed, with lovely soil signatures, very good intensity of flavor and fine balances for further cellaring."
There are always some great discoveries to be had in Burgundy and today I am pleased to present four Grand Crus from Domaine Louis Remy. These wines have come straight from the domaine where they have rested for a decade.
Apart from the age what makes these wines particularly attractive are the prices. They are very reasonable indeed.
A great opportunity to add a few perfectly aged Grand Crus to your cellar. All wines are offered with a 25% Pre Arrival Discount. You can buy aged Grand Crus at prices that are similar to new release Premier Crus!
