Red dry
The Echezeaux Grand Cru vineyard lies near Clos Vougeot and the Grand Crus of Chambolle Musigny, which it slightly resembles in style.
A bright ruby-coloured wine filled with aromas of red berries, roasted coffee and forest floor, subtly complemented by a light hint of mint. On the palate, the wine is fruity, slightly spicy and exotic. Its complexity is deepened by a long finish of silky tannins and redcurrants.
Serve at 15–17 °C with beef ribs in Roquefort sauce, or with Comté or Gruyère cheese.
Coudray-Bizot is a historic Burgundy winery located in the famous 15th-century Château David de Beaufort cellars in the city of Beaune.

The history of Coudray-Bizot is closely linked to Dr. Bizot, a former surgeon at the legendary Hospices de Beaune hospital. Today, the family traditions he started and nurtured are continued by his grandson, Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot. The winery strictly adheres to the principles of minimal intervention: utilizing natural fermentation with wild yeasts, aging in oak barrels, and bottling the wines without filtration. This approach allows the authentic terroir characteristics of each vineyard to be maximally revealed, showcasing the true harmony between nature and human craftsmanship.
The producer manages a small but carefully selected portfolio of the highest quality vineyards. Each plot is maintained and cultivated separately to highlight its uniqueness. The most important vineyards of the estate include:
The estate's red wines are produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. They are deep, featuring polished tannins, well-integrated acidity, and complex notes of red berries, spices, and earth. The white wines made from Chardonnay grapes demonstrate Burgundian elegance, mineral precision, and maintain a highly refreshing structure.
Coudray-Bizot employs traditional aging methods – the wines are kept in oak barrels for 18–24 months. To avoid overpowering the natural expression of the grapes, the amount of new oak is kept moderate. Although these wines can provide pleasure even at a young age, the estate's best examples, especially the Grand Cru and Premier Cru, mature perfectly for 10–20 years and longer, acquiring incredible refinement.
