REMOISSENET PERE ET FILS, BURGUNDY
Rémoissenet has the largest cellars of aged Burgundy in the world. Rémoissenet has been involved in the world of wine for two centuries and until recently has been in the careful hands of Roland Rémoissenet. However, under the dynamic new management of Bernard Repolt and winemaker Claudie Jobard, this famous house is now being revitalised, exploiting the wonderful aged stocks and introducing their new style estate wines from the 2005 vintage.
GIVRY LE PRÉFÉRÉ DU ROI HENRI IV
Vintage: A marvellous vintage to round off Burgundy?s amazing run of successful years during the 1990?s. Growing conditions were generally beneficial, with the period of hot and dry weather at the end of August and during the first 2 weeks of September proving to be the making of the vintage. In the 1999 vintage, the wines are wonderfully forward, ripe and juicy. They possess a wonderful clarity of fruit, with beautiful, lively, ripe Pinot flavours that will give amazing charm when young and graceful complexity with age.

Taste: A powerful wine with a good deep colour that will age well for up to 15years from vintage.
