Who makes it
At Château de Bligny in Bligny-lès-Beaune, Maison Pierre Brisset vinifies and ages its wines. Pierre Brisset began with vines planted with Chardonnay in Chassagne-Montrachet and created the maison to extend production to other Burgundy appellations. Its founding brief was exclusive: Premier Cru and Grand Cru burgundies. Production is deliberately limited across all appellations. The house has one base for cellar work and a range that reaches beyond its starting village.
Where it grows
Chassagne-Montrachet supplied the Chardonnay vines Pierre Brisset owned before the maison widened into other Burgundy appellations. The range reaches Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with red Pinot Noir and white Chardonnay from Premier Cru and Grand Cru parcels. On a Burgundy label, Premier Cru and Grand Cru identify classified vineyard levels, with Grand Cru above Premier Cru. The classification appears alongside the village and grape name, giving each bottle a place, a variety and a vineyard rank.
What they make
The named wines are three red 2016 Premier Cru bottles: Pierre Brisset Volnay Caillerets Premier Cru, Pierre Brisset Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru La Combe Aux Moines Pierre Brisset, and Pierre Brisset Brisset Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Rouges du Dessus. Their listed regional addresses divide the set between Côte de Beaune for Volnay and Côte de Nuits for Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée.
The wider range includes white Chardonnay alongside red Pinot Noir, and both Premier Cru and Grand Cru parcels. The bottles are organised by colour, grape, region and vineyard level.
