When the Domaine Remoissenet was sold to Edward and Howard Milstein in 2005, there was a real treasure in the cellars of the Domaine. It is rumored that there were almost a million bottles of aged Burgundy from the 1940s to the 1990s stored in the perfectly temperate cellars of the city walls of Beaune. What is special about these wines is that they have never left their storage location. Remoissenet was a classic merchant ( negociant -eleveur) who aged his wines in barrels and bottled them at the Domaine until they were bottled. Merchant bottlings were a common practice at the time.
