Domaine Bizot, Vosne Romanee 1er cru 1997

Domaine Bizot is one of the rising stars of Vosne Romanee. The 1997 Vosne Romanee 1er cru is made 100% from the climate Les Treux on the grand cru vineyard Echezeaux. The vintage 1997 is one of the very first made by Jean-Yves Bizot, who took over the wine making at this fine domaine back in 1993.

The 1997 Vosne 1er cru is now fully mature, but still quite fresh and vibrant. The bouquet offers matured red organic fruit – very expressive with sweet notes of red berries and red current – spiced with violets and rose petals. On the palate very rich, round and suave red fruit – seductive and intense with good weight and length. On the negative side lacking a litle focus, and the sediment in this bottle is somewhat disturbing … need very careful handling and decanting to access the full qualities of this fine wine. Nevertheless it offers a lovely complexity for the vintage and a superb drinkability – a very interesting and beautiful wine.

• Domaine Bizot Vosne-Romanée Les Jachées 2006
  The 2006 Vosne-Romanée Les Jachées from Jean-Yves Bizot is still surprisingly darkly flavoured and backward. After an hour in the glass, it starts to unfold its usual delightful, energetic, whole-cluster fruit and tantalising Vosne spiciness. Not the most open of Jachées, but the Vosne spiciness is to die for, and almost second to none; complex, ...

  I have recently tasted quite a few 2013 red Burgundies, and I must say they have a delightful, vivid appeal. The 2013s are surely not from the greatest of vintages. But they have some singular qualities that at best are uniquely fresh red Burgundies, with a visible and even flamboyant expression of their terroirs. They do have ...

  Domaine Bizot is in my view one of the most exiting estates in Vosne-Romanee.  Domaine Bizot is not your average Vosne producer as it’s run by Jean-Yves Bizot who has a academic backgound in Geology and this somehow shows in both the wines and the way the Domaine is managed. The wines have a certain intellectuel ...
