Winemaker Notes

The name Remoissenet is recognized by serious collectors, and stands for refined, classic Burgundian wines. Founded in Beaune in 1877 it was run as a négociant and producer for the last part of the 20th century by the venerable Roland Remoissenet. Retiring in 2005, Remoissenet handed over his estate and vineyards to new owners; a New York financier Edward Millstein (an avid Burgundy collector) along with Pierre-Antoine Rovani (formerly of the Wine Advocate) and Bernard Repolt (Maison Louis Jadot). With this purchase came the entire contents of the famed, historic cellar; the largest cellar of aged Burgundy in the world that was solely in the care of Remoissenet's hands up until that point. Within these caves built in the 1300s, connecting the cellar through medieval walls to the town of Beaune itself, lies a treasure trove of historical bottlings, effectively a museum loaded with priceless art. And upon the vines each vintage, new history is being made and ACME has an “in”, on your behalf.

A picture-perfect example of the rubied fruit and smoky nuance of the best Pinot Noir of Volnay. Structure and silk, and notes of brown spice.
