Producer

At Domaine Jessiaume, they let the grapes do the talking for them. This minimal-intervention winery has been brewing upper-echelon Burgundy wine since 1850 when it was founded by the Jessiaume family. These days, it is under the ownership of Dr Jean-François Le Bigot, a wine enthusiast who places quality above all else. Domaine Jessiaume sourced its grapes from an astounding terroir - a special 12-mile strip in Burgundy known as the Côte de Beaune. This wine was not sourced from one specific vineyard. Instead, fruits were drawn from across Burgundy’s greatest vineyards, for a deeply harmonious expression of one of the region’s most underrated grapes - the crisp Aligoté.
