Échezeaux Grand Cru Cuvée Jean-Luc Bissey 2023

163th Hospices De Beaune Wine Auction on the 19st November 2023. This vineyard was donated in 2011 by Mr Jean-Luc Bissey, a fourth-generation winegrower. He thus remains faithful to the great tradition of Burgundian generosity. Located in the Échezeaux du Dessus sector, the parcel is on the middle of a hillside with a slight slope towards the Rouges du Bas. The soil is rich in clay and rests on a subsoil that is quite shallow and very chalky. The result is a solid, well-structured and harmonious wine. The tannins are elegant and very often promise a very good ageing potential. A lively bright crimson ruby colour. Delicious, attractive ripe and charming with just a lifted pinpoint of fresh fruit. Smooth in texture with well-integrated oak and a few tannins to finish. A program of replanting less good pinot plants with finer quality stock is paying dividends.
