Get to know: Domaine Remoriquet Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Rue de Chaux” 2024

A powerful yet refined Premier Cru from one of the most characterful terroirs in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Tasting Note

Domaine Remoriquet Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Rue de Chaux” 2024 is a deep, structured, and beautifully expressive Pinot Noir that captures the authority of this historic site. Deeply coloured in the glass, the nose reveals a complex aromatic spectrum of very ripe black fruits – blackcurrant and elderberry to the fore – layered with notes of liquorice, resin, and fine spice. On the palate, the wine is robust and assured, built around a firm but finely integrated tannic structure. The 2024 vintage brings an added sense of freshness and refinement, tempering the natural power of the site with elegance and poise, and leading to a long, savoury finish.

Top food pairings:

• Red meats in a classic Burgundy wine sauce
• Marinated or roasted game dishes
• Full-flavoured, mature cheeses

Kate Says

"Rue de Chaux is always a wine of quiet authority. In 2024, that power is wrapped in freshness and finesse – a Premier Cru that rewards patience."

Producer Info

Domaine Remoriquet, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, is closely associated with the late Gilles Remoriquet, one of Burgundy’s most thoughtful and forward-thinking winemakers. Known for his precision, long macerations, and gentle extraction methods, Gilles prioritised structure, balance, and terroir expression over sheer power. His legacy lives on through wines that are cerebral, age-worthy, and unmistakably Burgundian.
