Vosne-Romane Les Jaches is a striking wine, and this bottle’s explosive aromas of Indian spices, red berries, violets and cinnamon did much to conceal the fact that it’s actually quite closed on the palate.

Vosne-Romane Les Jaches is a striking wine, and this bottle’s explosive aromas of Indian spices, red berries, violets and cinnamon did much to conceal the fact that it’s actually quite closed on the palate. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, this Vosne-Romane is framed by powdery tannins and concludes with a pungently perfumed finish, but it will need a few more years to reveal the full extent of its textural plenitude.

Producer Information

Domaine Jean Yves Bizot is a small Burgundy wine producer in the Cte de Nuits with a cult following. It makes Pinot Noir from several small plots in Vosne-Romane premier cru vineyards, and in the grand cru Echzeaux vineyard. It also makes a small amount of Chardonnay at the villages and Bourgogne Blanc level and has plots in Marsannay and Bourgogne Chapitre. The estate totals a little more than three hectares (eight acres). The modern incarnation of the domaine was established in 1995, when Jean Yves Bizot inherited the winery and vineyards from his family. Bizot had been a professor of oenology and follows a largely non-interventionist approach to the winemaking. The grapes are not de-stemmed or pressed, but fermented in whole clusters. Temperatures are kept low and fermentation takes place in conical wooden vats for 14 to 20 days. Aging is done in new small French oak barrels for all the wines, from the Bourgogne Rouge to the grand cru, and lasts 15 to 20 months. None of the wines are racked and all are bottled by hand, cask by cask, without fining or filtration the labels carry information about the individual barrel they were aged in.
