Certified organic
Certified organic. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah from a single plot of old vines called Arbousiers—the name referencing a native fruit tree that abounds in central France. The poise and finesse of this finely balanced wine are far removed from the weighty tannins and high extraction levels that characterise many old-vine Rhône blends. At 320 metres, Réméjeanne can get perfectly ripe Grenache and Syrah while retaining the energy and refreshing acidity we seldom see in the southern Rhône.
Naturally fermented and raised (without sulphur) in both concrete tank and large oak casks, this lively and sweetly perfumed bottling is emblematic of the quality Olivier Klein is achieving in both vineyard and cellar. From a significantly fresher vintage than those on either side, the ’21 is saturated with buoyant, lacy floral and red fruits. It exudes gluggable croquant charm, as Olivier puts it, courtesy of the combination of lithe tannins and great acidity. It’s another exciting and effortlessly poised Côtes du Rhône from this domaine.
On the palate, La Remejeanne Les Arbousiers Côtes du Rhône presents a vibrant medley of ripe red and dark berries, including cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, interwoven with subtle notes of garrigue, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. A gentle influence of oak aging adds hints of spice, vanilla, and cocoa, while the wine's supple tannins and fresh acidity create a well-balanced and approachable structure. The aromas of dried herbs, violets, and a whisper of smokiness further enhance the wine’s complexity, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with a touch of minerality.
This Côtes du Rhône pairs beautifully with a range of Mediterranean dishes, including grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. It also complements charcuterie, aged cheeses, and classic French cuisine such as ratatouille and coq au vin. Whether enjoyed young for its bright fruit or aged for further complexity, La Remejeanne Les Arbousiers offers a delightful and authentic taste of the Rhône Valley.
