FRANCE – HERMITAGE
Domaine des Remizières is a family winery since three generations. A vineyard at the origin of approximately 4 hectares, a part of the production was delivered to the cooperative cellar.
From 1973, the vinification is completely made on the domaine. Since this year, the domaine has greatly expanded since it currently reaches 36 hectares.
At the beginning, Alphonse managed the estate. Then Philippe, his son, settled down in 1977 and he decided to market all the production in bottles. Increases and modernization were made then little by little. In 2005, Emilie, awarded in oenology, joined with her father. In 2009, Christophe, Emilie’s brother, joins the domain with a BTS viticulture/oenology. It is a work in family with a will and well determined tasks.
Currently, the domaine propose Crozes Hermitage (red and white), Hermitage (red and white) and Saint Joseph (only red).
Jeb Dunnuck (“This is unquestionably one of my favorite estates in Crozes hermitage – “This estate needs to be on every reader’s short list “) et Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate) are not mistaken in praising the estate vintage after vintage. In May 2021, the latter declared in particular : “I get the impression that the wines of Domaine des Rémizières are often overlooked by wine collectors who head straight for Chave or Chapoutier when it comes to Hermitage. As the reviews here indicate, that would be a mistake. The Cuvée Emilie 2018 and 2019 are terrific, as is the Cuvée Autrement. The brother-and-sister team of Christophe and Emilie Desmeure are hitting on all cylinders.“
