"(from 50+ year old vines situated in Pernand). A discreet touch of toast frames the green fruit, apple and pear aromas that complement perfectly the powerful and well-muscled flavors that are rich, round and sweet as well as blessed with ample amounts of palate staining dry extract on the linear, driving and explosive finish. Patience will be required however." 2012+. Tasted by:Allen Meadows Additional Tasting

Tasting Notes

Dynamic and mineral-packed, this is one of the very greatest whites that we tasted anywhere. Patrick?s parcel lies on the west-facing sector of the hill and a combination of that and the high elevation has led to a wine of purity and precision with layers of tangerines, smokiness and pith. Tinglingly nervy but with a rich, powerful character this is quite simply a wonderful wine. Drink from 2011.

ProducerDomaine Simon Bize

Established in 1868, Domaine Simon Bize became a reference in Savigny-lès-Beaune under the stewardship of Patrick Bize. His meticulous care and attention to detail birthed crystalline wines of impressive elegance and poise. After his passing, his wife Chisa is now continuing the legacy of the Domaine and gifting wine lovers with wine that possesses a charming nature and friendliness in youth, and a remarkable ageing potential.
