Powerful and elegant, this full-bodied dry white boasts aromas of hazelnuts, and stone fruits with a leesy texture. Pair this structured white with langoustines in garlic butter.

Walking in Coudray-Bizot’s vineyard holdings is a Burgundy lover’s dream as your feet sink into the soil that has given birth to some of the world’s greatest pinot noirs and chardonnays. Here in the vines Jean Jacques works with the utmost respect for nature and the specific character of the terroirs. All the work is done to allow the earth to speak through the wines. Use of any chemical treatments are avoided and, of course, the harvest is done completely by hand.

Another key element in the quality and style of these wines is Jean-Jacques’ cellar which lies beneath his home in Beaune, the Chateau David de Beaufort built in the 1500s. Not only does having ancient cellars provide perfect temperature control for fermentation and aging, but the atmosphere and tranquility of the space is also good for the wines’ development and traditional structure. Tasting down in this damp, cool cellar, the only clue that you are in the modern world are a few naked lightbulbs to provide enough light to carefully walk from barrel to barrel. Jean-Jacques decides about de-stemming and élevage from vintage to vintage but no more than 30% new oak is ever used on the wines. Normal aging time in the cellar is 5-6 years before release depending on how the wines are evolving.
