Histoire du domaine
Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot has its roots in a family wine-growing heritage in Vosne-Romanée. Jean-Yves Bizot, originally trained as a geologist, also undertook training in oenology before taking over the family estate in the mid-1990s. Sources differ slightly as to whether the takeover took place in 1994 or 1995; Bizot himself cited 1995 in an interview published in 2017. His first vintage is generally given as 1998. The family vineyard he took over at that time covered approximately 2.5 hectares, according to several industry sources. An additional hectare was added to the estate in 2007, bringing the total area under cultivation to 3.5 hectares. Jean-Yves Bizot has developed a vineyard management approach inspired by organic principles, although no certification is claimed in the sources consulted. From very early on, he sought to limit the use of additives in the cellar, particularly the use of sulphur, and carries out the winemaking himself. The estate produces wines from several Burgundy appellations, including Vosne-Romanée, Échézeaux, Marsannay and Bourgogne.

Échezeaux is a Grand Cru appellation physically delimited within the Côte de Nuits, located entirely within the commune of Flagey-Echézeaux, between Clos de Vougeot and the Premiers Crus of Vosne-Romanée.

The vineyard ranges in altitude from 230 meters to just over 300 meters, with a slope reaching 13% mid-slope. Bajocian marls, locally covered with scree, gravel, red alluvium, and yellowish marls, form a complex mosaic.
