Bruno Desaunay-Bissey

Domaine Bruno Desaunay-Bissey is a small, traditional grower in Flagey-Échezeaux, at the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. Producing since 1975 from a compact holding that includes vines approaching a century old, the estate is farmed sustainably — no herbicides, soils worked by hand — with wines made using indigenous yeasts and a gentle, terroir-focused touch. Following Bruno's passing in 2023, his son Richard now leads the domaine.

The estate is prized for old-vine Grand Cru Pinot Noir, above all its Grands-Echezeaux and Echezeaux, alongside Vosne-Romanée including the premier cru Les Beaux-Monts. Increasingly recognised as one of the Côte de Nuits' rising stars, these are wines of purity, depth and cellar-worthy structure.
