Located in the sunny hills of Santenay, Domaine Jessiaume has been garnering the approval of wine connoisseurs for almost 2 centuries. The winery was founded by the Jessiaume family in 1850, and although the winery has passed through several different owners since then, the commitment to quality has never faded.

Domaine Jessiaume is now an organic-certified, minimal intervention winery, with a wide variety of Côte de Beaune Premier Cru’s to harvest from. “Les Ecussaux” is one of Burgundy’s underrated stars. It falls within the Auxey-Duresses AOC, a region known for its well-balanced and supple red wines.

This Auxey Premier Cru is dripping with scents of wild hedgerow fruits and flowers, such as blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and peony. It’s quite vivid for Pinot Noir, exhibiting a rich ruby colour in the glass. On the palate, you can discover a characteristic richness, with velvety tannins and strong notes of plum, raspberry, soil and spice. After some time, it will open up with further notes of wet stone and herby details, such as rosemary. If you enjoy wines that tread the line between light and medium-bodied, “Les Ecussaux” is a brilliant terroir to explore. We recommend pairing this wine with roast pork, rabbit, and even a chunky piece of grilled fish.
