Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes Bizot (Domaine) 1999

The wine

This cuvée is a blend of three plots: Les Saules, Les Communes and La Colombière. The Pinot Noir vines were planted almost 80 years ago, and nonetheless produce wine of remarkable purity. Truly complex, it unveils an aromatic bouquet composed of fruity notes with smoky and delicately spiced notes. The palate rightly balances density, body, freshness and length. This is a beautiful wine that will reward cellaring for a few years.

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.
