Domaine de Remizières, Hermitage Cuvée Emilie 2022

Domaine de Remizières Hermitage Cuvée Emilie 2022 is a refined Northern Rhône red made from Syrah, combining generous fruit with the depth and longevity associated with Hermitage. Produced by a family domaine that has grown from just 4 hectares to 30 hectares, it reflects three generations of dedication and the estate’s award-winning progress since establishing its independence from the Tain-l’Hermitage cooperative.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby to purple colour. In its youth, the nose is led by expressive dark-fruit aromas, with ripe berry and plum notes complemented by subtle floral and peppery nuances. With bottle age, the aromatic profile develops further, bringing more pronounced spice, savoury character and complexity. On the palate, Cuvée Emilie is rich, rounded and generously textured, yet remains balanced by fine-grained tannins. Its full fruit profile and polished structure make it approachable in its youth, while the concentration and tannic framework should allow it to develop gracefully over the next 8–15 years when properly cellared.

Production
The wine is produced in the Hermitage appellation of France’s Northern Rhône, a renowned terroir traditionally associated with powerful, age-worthy Syrah. Domaine de Remizières uses a traditional vinification in closed, temperature-controlled tanks, followed by 15–18 months of maturation in oak demi-muids with a capacity of 600 litres. Specific harvesting details are not provided, but the careful élevage is designed to preserve the wine’s fruit while adding depth and spice.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C after allowing the bottle to come up gradually to temperature. It is an excellent partner for grilled or roasted red meat, game, braised dishes and hearty stews, while its richness also complements mature and hard cheeses. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended when serving the 2022 vintage, particularly in its youth; older bottles should be decanted gently and briefly, mainly to separate any sediment.

Producer
Domaine de Remizières is a family-run estate that has been passed from father to son for three generations. The domaine began with around 4 hectares, and in 1973 Desmeure Alphonse withdrew fully from the Cave Coopérative de Tain-l’Hermitage, where he had previously delivered half of his production. His son Philippe, who had already been active at the estate from a young age, took over in 1977. Since then, the domaine has expanded significantly, earning numerous awards and now managing approximately 30 hectares across several communes.
