Vintage Character Coudray-Bizot Château de Beaufort Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers Premier Cru 2017 is a wine of remarkable depth from one of Gevrey’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Les Cazetiers sits on steep, southeast-facing slopes with limestone and marl soils at elevations reaching around 300–370 meters, producing Pinot Noir of both power and finesse. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was widely regarded as very good, thanks to a cool spring followed by a warm, dry summer that yielded healthy fruit with freshness, balance, and concentration.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle violet, layered with earthy spice and a mineral edge. The palate is structured yet refined, with silky tannins framing ripe red fruit, savory herbs, and a long, elegant finish. Its finesse and complexity make it a superb partner for dishes such as roast duck with orange glaze, beef bourguignon, or a wedge of Comté cheese.
Winery Background Domaine Coudray-Bizot is a small, family-run estate with roots in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, where Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot continues the legacy of his grandfather, Dr. Bizot, once a winemaker at the Hospices de Beaune. The domaine farms old-vine parcels across prestigious appellations including Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Echezeaux, with a philosophy centered on respect for terroir and minimal intervention. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermentation proceeds with native yeasts in open wooden vats, and élevage takes place in French oak barrels, with new oak used sparingly to preserve purity. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, reflecting the estate’s commitment to authenticity and longevity. This artisanal approach, combined with holdings in exceptional vineyards like Les Cazetiers, has earned Coudray-Bizot a reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines of great character.
