We report on the fabrication and measurement of nanoscale devices based on bilayer graphene sandwiched between hexagonal boron nitride bottom and top gate dielectrics. The top gates are patterned such that constrictions and islands can be electrostatically induced by applying appropriate voltages to the gates. The high quality of the devices becomes apparent from conductance quantization in the constrictions at low temperature. The islands exhibit clear Coulomb blockade and single-electron transport.
