The Henri et Gilles Remoriquet 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Rue de Chaux” is a structured and expressive Pinot Noir from the prestigious Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, crafted by the historic Domaine Remoriquet. Known for producing classic Burgundy wines that emphasize terroir and tradition, the estate has been family-owned for more than a century.

Domaine Remoriquet traces its roots back to Louis Remoriquet, who established the domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1890 with his wife Hélène Lacour, a pioneering woman in Burgundy who became the first female winegrower inducted into the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in 1948. Today, the estate is led by Gilles Remoriquet and Patricia Guenot, who continue the family’s legacy with a deep respect for terroir and environmentally responsible viticulture.

The “Rue de Chaux” Premier Cru vineyard lies in the northern section of the southern vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges, close to the road connecting the village to the Hautes-Côtes. The soils are composed of reddish-brown clay over hard Comblanchien limestone, enriched with red clay deposits that contribute to the wine’s structure and complexity.

The 2020 vintage produced wines of excellent concentration and balance in Burgundy, and this Premier Cru showcases the richness and precision that make Nuits-Saint-Georges one of the most respected Pinot Noir appellations in the world.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before fermentation.

Winemaking includes:

• Partial or total destemming depending on the vintage
• Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 3–4 days
• Extended fermentation and cuvaison lasting 25–28 days for gentle extraction
• Aging for 16–18 months in French oak barrels, with 20–25% new oak

This careful approach preserves both the purity of fruit and the structural elegance typical of Premier Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

This wine shows a deep ruby color and a complex aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, blackcurrant, elderberry, and cherry, layered with notes of resin, licorice, and fine spices.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm but well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, refined finish.
