Rue de Chaux is a tiny, lesser known Premier Cru site in Nuits-Saint-George, one of more northerly Southern Nuits Premier Cru vineyards, and offers fantastic concentration of fruit and good structure. 2002 is a vintage loved by Burgundy professionals - the reds are pure and precise. In it's youth, the wine was full of cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant. Now that wine wine has awakened from it's slumber it feels mature - the fruits are decaying, making way for a touch of leather, truffle, and smoky game. A Burgundy lovers dream.
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 Nuits but the prices have yet to catch up...
This wine has been sourced and sent direct from the producer's cellars.
