The estate and the wine |
|
|
Unearthed by Olivier Poussier, Domaine Jessiaume is a hidden gem, excelling in finesse and craftsmanship. Known for producing elegant, finely crafted wines over sheer power, this estate has quietly earned its place among the most sought-after names in the Côte de Beaune.
With a commitment to precision, the domaine cultivates its 15 hectares organically, even playing classical music during barrel aging to enhance the wine’s development. New owner Dr. Jean-François Le Bigot, a seasoned expert from biomedical research, brings both ambition and dedication to the estate, positioning it for a bright future—one that Robert Parker himself has praised. |
