Georges Remy is the third generation of his family in Bouzy, where the Remys have grown grapes since 1829. His grandfather was the first to bottle wine under the family name in 1950; his father stepped back from production in 1989 to focus on the vines themselves. Georges trained in Avize and worked in Bordeaux, where he fell hard for red wine, before returning home to consult and farm alongside his father. In 2011, his parents gifted him a 0.15-hectare parcel of pinot noir in the lieu-dit Les Vaudayants, planted by sélection massale in 1975. That was the beginning. He added champagne to the project in 2014. Today he farms 4.7 hectares across seventeen parcels in Bouzy, Ambonnay, Louvois, and Tauxières — all certified organic since 2018, with biodynamic practices and homemade compost shared between Georges, Benoît Lahaye, and Antoine Paillard. He harvests later than almost anyone in the region, holding out for full phenolic ripeness, and vinifies and ages every cuvée in barrel. The wines are brut nature, unfined, unfiltered, and made in tiny quantities.

Les Vaudayants is where it all started — the 1975 massale parcel that convinced Georges to bottle wine in the first place. The vines face south to southeast on seventy centimeters of clay over limestone bedrock, and the still red bottling is the most direct line to the soul of the place. The 2020 captures Bouzy at its most generous: dark cherry, sanguine iron, a wisp of woodsmoke, and the dry, salted-licorice grip that distinguishes pinot noir from this pocket of the Montagne de Reims.
