The Henri et Gilles Remoriquet 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges “Les Allots” is a classic and expressive Pinot Noir from the prestigious Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, produced by the historic Domaine Remoriquet. Crafted from old vines planted in one of the estate’s most emblematic vineyards, this wine reflects both the heritage of the family and the power and structure that define Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Domaine Remoriquet has been rooted in Burgundy’s tradition of family winemaking for more than a century. The estate’s history began when Louis Remoriquet settled in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1890 with his wife Hélène Lacour, who later became the first female winegrower inducted into the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in 1948. Over generations, the family expanded the domaine to 9.5 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, including vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, and the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.

The “Les Allots” climat sits at the foot of the hillside directly below the Premier Cru vineyards, on soils composed of red silt mixed with limestone scree (“chailles”) that have eroded from the slope above. This historic parcel was the first vineyard purchased and planted by the great-grandparents of the current owners, making it deeply symbolic for the estate.

The vines average approximately 80 years of age, producing naturally low yields and wines of impressive concentration and depth. The name “Les Allots” is believed to derive from the words “à l’eau,” referring to the slightly humid conditions of the site and its naturally well-drained soils.

The 2015 vintage in Burgundy was widely celebrated for its warm, balanced growing season, resulting in Pinot Noirs with exceptional ripeness, structure, and aging potential.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted before fermentation. Depending on the vintage, the fruit undergoes partial or full destemming followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 3–4 days.

A long cuvaison of 25–28 days allows for gentle extraction of color, aroma, and fine tannins.

The wine is then aged for 14–16 months in French oak barrels, with 15–20% new oak, before light filtration prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

This wine displays a beautiful deep ruby color.

The nose reveals ripe black fruits, cherry pit, sweet spices, and earthy notes reminiscent of shiitake mushrooms.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with refined tannins, balanced acidity, and impressive length that reflects the character of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
