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.
Aux Réas
Aux Réas is a cadastered lieu-dit in Vosne-Romanée, authorized as a complementary geographical unit of the village AOC but not classified as Premier Cru. It is located south of the village, at the foot or lower part of the slope, as an extension of the Premier Cru Clos des Réas. A plot described by Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair features brown limestone soil, locally more clayey in its upper part, as well as a southern orientation; however, these observations cannot be generalized with certainty to the entire lieu-dit.

- Indicative vine age
- Vines planted between 1927 and 1933 according to two concordant professional sources.
Histoire de la parcelle
Local toponymic tradition associates Aux Réas with ancient fields plowed before being planted with vines. The lieu-dit is today explicitly listed among the cadastered lieux-dits of Vosne-Romanée whose name may appear on the label; it does not appear in the regulatory list of climats eligible for the Premier Cru designation.
