Philosophy and History

A family estate for several generations, the vineyard began with 4 hectares and initially produced some of its wine at a cooperative winery. From 1973 onwards, winemaking was carried out entirely on-site, marking a crucial step towards the estate's autonomy and quality. Philippe, Alphonse's son, took over in 1977, initiating exclusive bottling and progressively modernizing the facilities. Today, Emilie and Christophe, both graduates in oenology, represent the new generation, driven by a shared vision and a family commitment, perpetuating the values ​​of high standards and respect for the terroir.

Production specifics

Domaine des Remizières prides itself on rigorous and meticulous work throughout the year, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Vineyard management follows an environmentally responsible approach, recognized by the HVE (High Environmental Value) certification. The diversity of the small plots allows for plot-by-plot vinification, enabling the full expression of each terroir. The harvest, which generally begins in mid-September, is meticulously prepared with regular tastings and analyses to guarantee optimal ripeness.

The vinification of white wines involves gentle pressing, a long alcoholic fermentation at low temperature, and aging in tanks or barrels depending on the terroir. For red wines, 100% destemming, pre-fermentation maceration, rigorous monitoring of alcoholic fermentation, and maceration for approximately 25 to 32 days are key to controlled extraction and a refined aromatic expression. Aging for 8 to 15 months in barrels, demi-muids, or foudres allows for maturation on fine lees with regular stirring, guaranteeing the complexity and finesse of the wines.
