13.5% abv, Nuits-Saint-Georges, purchased direct at domaine. Cork closure: natural. Biodynamic calendar: leaf day.
Winemaking notes: 100% Pinot Noir with the inclusion of some stems during fermentation. “Domaine Henri et Gilles Remoriquet is a 4th-generation domaine based in Nuits-Saint-Georges with some amazing vineyard holdings including the famous Vosne Romanée Au Dessus des Malconsorts, the vines are touching La Tache and just above de Montille’s Malconsorts vines, and priced 30 times cheaper than a bottle of DRC La Tache!”
Tasting note: the ‘Au-Dessus des Malconsorts’ is pale garnet in color with a pronounced nose with aromas of violet, black currant, potpourri, leather, earth and wet leaves. On the palate this wine is dry with high acid, medium+ tannin, medium+ body, medium+ flavor intensity, and a medium+ finish with flavors of violet, Japanese plum, cassis, orange rind, hazelnut cream, star anise, lavender spice and a clay minerality. This was very perfumed and elegant and had a lovely balance and freshness; drink now or through 2028. This wine is outstanding: 9.6/10.
