Clive Coates recognizes the high quality of Domaine Bryczek’s wines under the management of Christophe Bryczek:
“Many years ago I used to call on Georges Bryczek , an old man with died black hair of Polish extraction. A very devout Catholic, he had managed to persuade Pope Jean-Paul II to accept a case of his premier cru . Bryczek’s cave was crammed full of Madonnas, votive candles, Christmas tree lights and his own paintings (not very good, I’m afraid). The wine was unimpressive, and after a few years I stopped visiting.
Then I had an e-mail. It’s now the grandson, 31 year old Christophe. And the quality merits a re-visit. It did. It was father Edouard who started changing things round in the mid-1980s, apparently. I found the 2008s rich and succulent, perhaps soft-centered, but elegant. And the 2007s are very good too. The premier cru is still called Cuvée Jean-Paul II and not Chenevery. But who’s heard of Chenevery anyway? And Grandfather Georges is still with us. He’s 94.”
