Domaine des Remiziéres Offers Classic Northern Rhône at Every Day Prices

The Rhône Valley is full of value-driven reds, with my favorites being the Syrah from the north. One standout from our shelves is the lineup from Domaine des Remiziéres, a family winery that has been producing wines and growing grapes for four generations. The estate is now managed by Phillipe Desmeures, his daughter Emilie, and son Christophe. They have expanded to 30 hectares with vineyards in Crozes-Hermitage, St-Joseph, and Hermitage. Emilie now oversees the winemaking with her brother Christophe tending to the vineyards.

Exceptional Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage from Domaine Belle

Domaine Belle is located in the village of Larnage, just to the north of the famous winemaking cooperative of Tain l’Hermitage, which the original Louis Belle helped to found in 1933. Today, the third generation, Philippe, is at the helm, and his son Guillaume is in the process of learning the ropes. Today, they own 25 hectares covering six communes and three appellations in the Northern Rhône. We added this fantastic family-run estate to our Direct Import portfolio five years ago, and they have quickly become a fan favorite for their deep, soulful wines.
