Domaine des Remizieres

The wines produced from vineyards on Rhône’s Hermitage hill have long been fêted as some of France’s best. The hill lies on the east bank of the river, sitting behind the town of Tain-l’Hermitage with vineyards facing due west and south and thus protected from the cold north winds. Domaine des Remizieres has been in Philippe Desmeure’s family for three generations: Cuvée Emilie is named after Philippe’s daughter. The 2018 is a full-bodied wine, smooth yet muscular. It has aromas of cherry jam, cocoa and incense. Quite tight on the palate, it needs time and has a nice savoury finish with good depth.
