Coudray-Bizot 2017s (and a 2019 Meursault!)
Coudray-Bizot 2017s (and a 2019 Meursault!)
What follows below is the "press-release" from Bonhome Wine Imports on the wines we are offering today:
"One of the highlights of the year for us at Bonhomie is our annual offering of exceptional Burgundy from Domaine Coudray-Bizot. Offerings from this legendary estate are always special as it is one of the few estates in the Côte d’Or that holds wines for release until they believe they are ready to drink. The domaine’s parcels have been in the family since the early 1800s, situated in incredible terroirs. The Echézeaux Grand Cru ‘En Orveaux’ sits just to the south of Le Musigny, just west of Clos de Vougeot. The Vosne Romanée ‘La Croix Rameau’ is surrounded on three sides by Romanée St Vivant. The Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru ‘Les Combettes’ abuts Meursault 1er cru ‘Les Charmes-Dessus’ to its north. You get the point: this is top-flight Burgundy from the terroirs that collectors thirstily hunt for.
The weather showed a lot of contrast throughout the 2017 vintage. A cold winter followed by much fluctuation in the Spring, some hot episodes, but an overall cooler summer. Rain was sufficient and vines did not struggle from dryness, harvest temperatures were ideal. In general, 2017 was possibly a bit overlooked on earlier releases, but over time the experience of the wines are lovely and characterized with aromatic expression and a balanced and elegant palate.
We are pleased to share again this year a Meursault bottling from the negotiant project began in 2018. Because of the exceedingly low volumes of Puligny they can make, Jean-Jacques and Stéphanie wanted to offer another white wine. The fruit for this rich and delicious wine comes from two small plots just below the village of Meursault."
