Echezeaux Grand Cru Bizot (Domaine) 2011
The wine
This cuvée is from one of the world's most highly-reputed appellations, thanks to its extreme elegance. When young, it produces a bouquet rich in fresh, fruity notes (red berries and flowers such as violet and rosehip). After a number of years of laying down, greater complexity develops with aromas of undergrowth, humus and leather. It is made for keeping, and opening it within five years is not recommended.
About the Producer Domaine Bizot
Domaine Bizot is a very small property: three cuvées are made from a mere 1.7 hectares of vineyards in the Vosne-Romanée appellation. Jean-Yves Bizot lives in the street where Henri Jayer used to live and he uses his techniques for his wines; fermentation at low temperature in truncated wooden vats, for example. Bizot wines are bottled by hand, barrel by barrel, without filtration.
