“I want to produce wines of a bygone age, fine Burgundy wines in the tradition of those made by my grandfather, Dr. Bizot: without technological showmanship and in a way which allows our terroirs to truly express themselves.” Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot
Domaine Coudray-Bizot is a family run domaine with some prime vineyards. The domaine is located in the historic Chateau David de Beaufort within Beaune's mediaeval walls.
Their vineyards include Echezeaux En Orveaux, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers and Champeaux, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes and the rare and intriguing Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru La Croix Rameaux. They are one of just three owners of Vosne-Romanee’s smallest Premier Cru.
The domaine also has a alternative policy when it comes to releasing their wines. Where most domaines like to ship their wines as soon as humanly possible, Coudray-Bizot prefer to hold their wines back to enable them develop complexity and interest. Their current vintage is 2012 which has enjoyed 4+ years in bottle.
