Georges Remy is one of the recent breakout stars of the grower champagne movement of the past 10 years. Having trained in Bordeaux he returned to the family estate in the early 2000's working alongside his father whilst he experimented with small parcels across the entire estate, shaping and honing his wines in a way that displays his affinity for red grapes, releasing his first cuvee in 2011.
His 4.6 hectares of mature 40+ year old vines is spread across the Grand Cru landscape of Bouzy, Ambonnay and Louvois with a small amount of Premier Cru vines in Tauxieres.
This is a 50/50 mix of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. An intense nose, Pinot is the most forward varietal right now showing those darker rounder fruits in its aromas as its mousse draws you in. The palate is led by the pinot until the chardonnay takes the wheel, Its all black currants and blue fruits until the grip of the Chardonnay backed by the acidity takes the ascendancy with an intensity and power that almost takes you by surprise. Deep, textural and layers of detail and flavour its one hell of a joy ride, there is so much going on but in all the best ways.
Simply put, this is a thrilling bottle that will have you enthralled.
