About Coudray-Bizot 2009 Vosne Romanee, La Croix Rameau 1er Cru
The 2009 vintage in Burgundy has been widely hailed as one of the finest of the past 20 years. Almost perfect conditions produced wines that are both ripe and generous, but also structured, balanced and built for cellaring. Now, 13 years later, these wines are ready to drink, but almost impossible to find in the market. The opportunity to buy aged Burgundy, with impeccable provenance straight from the estate’s cellar is a collectors dream.
Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot's grandfather Dr. Bizot, was a surgeon and wine maker at the Hospice du Beaune. His favorite saying about wine was, “you have to hurry up and wait!”. Walking in Coudray-Bizot’s vineyard holdings is a Burgundy lover’s dream as your feet sink into the soil that has given birth to some of the world’s greatest pinot noirs and chardonnays. Here in the vines Jean-Jacques works with the utmost respect for nature and the specific character of the terroirs. All the work is done to allow the earth to speak through the wines. Use of any chemical treatments are avoided and, of course, harvest is done completely by hand.
This wine, Vosne Romanee 1er Cru ‘La Croix Rameau’ is sourced from 40 year old vines. Clayey-sand on a Bajocian limestone bed; Croix Rameau is the smallest 1er cru in Vosne-Romanee, just .6 hectares located in the north-east corner against the pillar and cross erected by the monks of the Abbey of St Vivant also honoring JeanPhilippe Rameau renowned for his sacred music. The site is surrounded on 3 sides by Romanee St. Vivant! There is a movement afoot among the growers here to have the site re-designated as part of that great Grand Cru. Should this occur, the wines grown here will instantly double in price.
