En Primeur | Domaine Simon Bize

Domaine Simon Bize is a substantial estate by Burgundian standards, with 22 hectares mainly in the appellation of Savigny Lès Beaune including six very diverse 1ers Crus and two fine Grands Crus parcels in Corton Charlemagne and Latricières Chambertin. Just like DRC, the domaine has continued the traditional practice of working with whole bunches during the vinification. Having drifted out of fashion in the 80s and 90s, whole bunch vinification is now receiving renewed credibility throughout the Côtes.

  • Goedhuis, December 2023

    This village blend comes from three different parcels planted by successive generations of the family in 1939, 1950 and 1979, on just under 2 hectares of vineyards. A very deep opaque colour, with aromas of dark wild alpine fruits and a smattering of pepper and spice. Forward in nature with a light tannic feel and soft pleasing finish.

    The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards has a beguiling nose: dark berry fruit, cranberry, hints of iris floor and a light potpourri scent. Wonderful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins at the moment. It offers crisp and vivacious dark berry fruit laced with Earl Grey, gently fanning out towards a refined and cohesive finish. Superb. Drinking Window: 2026-2038.

    The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Fournaux 1er Cru is more closed on the nose compared to the Grands Liards, yet it is still well-defined with black plum and bilberry fruit, intermingling with sous-bois and a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. It’s an elegant Savigny, not powerful, but armed with reassuring persistence on the white pepper-tinged finish. Lovely. Drinking Window: 2027-2040.

    A south facing vineyard with a high sandstone content. A rich and lush style, balancing its overall intensity and concentration, with rounded but firm tannins and some bright fresh acidity revitalising the palate on the finish.

  • Goedhuis, December 2023

    Domaine Simon Bize has a substantial 1.6 hectare holding of this Premier Cru, the last before reaching Pernand Vergelesses. This vineyard is distinguished by the high chalk content of its soil. The nose is perfumed and floral, with a whole-bunch alpine strawberry scent. On the palate, the flavours are darker and give the impression of a firm, tense structure. This seriousness is relaxed by fresh coffee bean and nutmeg spice on the finish. A thoughtful and very well-made wine.

    The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er Cru has a complex and perhaps cerebral nose: dark berry fruit, black pepper, green tea and light scents of damp moss/forest floor. This unfurls beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins framing gorgeous dark berry fruit, a little peppery in style, quintessentially Savigny with a very persistent finish. Everything you want from a Savigny Premier Cru (and more). Drinking Window: 2027-2045.

More About Domaine Simon Bize

At Simon Bize the fruit handling is very gentle to support whole bunch vinification, allowing them to produce very stylish wines which possess the sweetness of fruit and subtle tannic core which are so typical of the wines of Savigny.

Simon Bize’s great-grandson Patrick managed the domaine masterfully for 40 years until 2013, since which time his widow Chisa has directed this fine estate with equal success. In 2020 Chisa handed over to their son Hugo and newly appointed technical director, Eric Pignal, a Pinot Noir specialist with experience in Sonoma and at Domaine Dujac.
