From the legendary 1959 vintage, here we have one of five bottles of top class red Burgundy. Capsule and level absolutely first class here, but the label is in a bit of a sorry state to say the least. What is clear however is that this is a 59 and that it is a Grand cru, at least according to Jadot. Some research tells me that Les Coucheraux is actually a Premier Cru Vineyard -
"The Aux Coucherias vineyard lies on the upper reaches of Beaune's premier cru slope, equidistant from Pommard and Savigny, and occupies 24 acres. Louis Henry Denis Jadot purchased 4.94-acres in the Clos des Couchereaux in 1836, and this holding has remained in the Jadot family ever since. The superb, east-southeast exposition of the vineyard results in a wine of particular fruit ripeness and supple full body. Its delicately fragrant Pinot Noir bouquet, marked by characteristically earthy notes, is followed on the palate by a generous, velvety texture and lengthy finish."
So why Grand Cru is printed on the label is somewhat of a mystery. Either way this is a superb bottle with impeccable provenance.
