Commercial director Bernard Repolt succinctly told me that 2017 gave us a "pretty easy growing season that produced good quality and normal quantities. I like the style of the wines as consumers will not have to wait a decade or more before the reds unfold and become more approachable. Moreover there is very good transparency to the underlying terroir; in fact 2017 might be the most transparent vintage since 2010." He also reiterated that Remoissenet is gradually becoming much more of a domaine-based operation and much less of a traditional négociant as it now owns or controls about 28 ha. As to my take on the quality of what I found here in 2017, color me impressed and particularly by the portfolio of Gevrey 1ers.
