The other day we walked around a soggy Kew Gardens then went back to a friend’s kitchen for platefuls of sausages with lentils. I had taken a bottle of Domaine Joël Remy Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir 2020, bought from Lea & Sandeman.
This is an honest and sturdy red Burgundy. It tastes of being outdoors, has a bit of chew and dust on the palate, and enough sappiness – a smell of red berries and a bite of acidity – to remind the drinker that spring will one day be on the way. Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph (Jan 2023)

Good matter here - lovely density of fruit. Fruit is bright - with a sweet thread of black berry mulch but also a sophisticated more perfumed red and Black Forest fruit note. Really good. Long. Old barrels 5-10 years old - all in wood. Really impressive. Gourmand but not simple at all.L&S (Nov 2021)
Domaine Remy & Fils
A family domaine that extends back five generations to 1853, but which Joël has modernised considerably over the past twenty years, installing new fermentation and ageing equipment. Over the years his vinifications have changed, and the wines have a lot more immediacy and precision. The quality of fruit is not in doubt, as lovers of his Bourgogne Rouge from year to year will attest, and a lot of work in the vineyard contributes to this, including leaf-thinning towards the end of the growing season. In the winery he has installed a vibrating sorting table, and the only filtering is by a lens filter at very low pressure to avoid de-naturing the wines. All offer quite striking value.
In 2016 Joël was joined full-time by both his children, Maxime and Manon. There is a renewed air of excitement and ambition here. They are moving to slightly longer élevages over 18 months, with four to five months in cuve at the end.

This over-achieving Bourgogne Rouge comes from 2HA of vines Joel has, half in Pommard and half in Chorey. There is such a good feel upfront. Soft and sexy - but with good acidity too - such great balance. Élevage...(read more)

Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% Red

Pretty good colour for the vintage, firm precise dark fruit nose and the definition is there on the palate too, a crunchy, clear-cut style of juicy slightly tannic fruit, with cherry juice flavours and a lifting acidity.
