Histoire du domaine
Remoissenet Père et Fils was founded in Beaune in 1877 and established itself in a historic 14th-century building in the heart of the town. The company remained in the Remoissenet family until 2005. During the final decades of this period, Roland Remoissenet was at the helm. When he retired in 2005, the company, its cellars, stocks and vineyards were acquired by a group led by the American financier Edward L. Milstein. The reorganisation that followed included the appointment of Bernard Repolt as managing director and the arrival of oenologist Claudie Jobard ahead of the 2005 grape harvest. In 2008, the company reacquired plots in several Côte de Nuits appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot. Remoissenet Père et Fils now operates as both a wine estate and a wine merchant, producing wine from grapes grown on its own vineyards as well as from grapes selected from partner growers. Recent legal filings identify Edward Milstein as the managing director of Remoissenet Père et Fils SCS, of which Remoissenet Holdings Ltd is the general partner.
Charmes (Meursault)
Charmes is a Premier Cru climat of Meursault, located south of the village near the border with Puligny-Montrachet. It encompasses the lieux-dits Les Charmes-Dessus and Les Charmes-Dessous and forms the largest Premier Cru climat in Meursault. Situated in the middle and lower part of the slope, it has a predominantly east to south-east exposure. Sources describe clay-limestone, stony soils resting notably on hard Jurassic limestones and marly limestones.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Charmes-Dessus and Les Charmes-Dessous appear in the historical land registry of Meursault and are documented in particular by the maps from the Napoleonic cadastre preserved in the departmental archives of Côte-d’Or. Their unification under the climat name Charmes was consecrated by the delimitation of the Meursault Premier Cru appellation.
