Meursault Rouge, Remoissenet Père & Fils

Name: Meursault Rouge, Remoissenet Père & Fils
SKU: 31358

Located about five miles south of Beaune, the village of Meursault is rightly famed for its white wines. However, about one in every twenty-five bottles it produces is red. It is said that the name Meursault means ‘Mouse’s Jump’ because, in the past, the plots producing red wine would not have been separated from those producing white by more than a mouse’s jump. These Pinot Noir plots are situated to the north, close to Volnay on rocky soils with plenty of red clay. Only about 900 bottles are made each year; fermentation takes place in a single one ton oak vat and the wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, one of the three is new! The wine shows plenty of elegance and finesse with aromas of red berries and black cherries.

Pinot Noir

Pee-noe Nwahr

A temperamental thin skinned grape and difficult to grow, when produced of any quality it demands high prices. The thin skin means it's very light in colour body and tannin, it characteristically has searing acidity and full lingering flavours of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, violets and sweet spice.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
