Domaine Remoriquet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2014

This is a humble villages wine, but you'd never guess that if you can't see the label. 2014 is a favourite Red Burgundy vintage of mine, producing classic wines with lots of freshness. Lots of fruit remains. There is black cherry, raspberries, and a touch of vanilla spice. The palate is velvety with layers of red fruit, earthy minerality, and a refined, lingering finish. This is drinking very well. I'd love it with confit duck, or an earthy wild mushroom risotto. 

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.
