This is perfectly mature red Burgundy, excellently priced and extremely classy. Rich cassis fruit and delicate wildflowers dance above an earthy and savoury core. Still feels very much alive on the palate with plenty of freshness and width. Bousselots is a vineyard on the Vosne side of the NSG appellation whose soils tends to produce wines of structure and depth. Certainly true here, but the once firm tannins are melting nicely and the wine feels very pretty and elegant with a little savoury feeling still. Like liquid truffles and violets.
Domaine Remoriquet can trace its history back to 1890 - today it is run by Gilles who is the 4th generation of Remoriquets to make wine. Gilles makes a fine range of wines, mostly from Nuits St Georges, that require time in bottle to overcome their initial tannins. Gilles Remoriquet is not a winemaker who rests on his laurels. He is forever looking for ways to improve his wines. Most recently he has been to the Jura to see a specialist about selecting the right blend of manure. How glamorous. Remoriquet is one of the top estates in NSG but the prices have yet to catch up... This is (in relative terms), a bargain.
