Simon Bize is a fabled Burgundy domaine with roots going back to the 1880s in and around Savigny-Les-Beaune. The domaine is decidedly old-school with great care taken in the the vineyard to produce top quality, organic fruit from 22 hectares of vines. In the cellar, whole-bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts favoured, and extended élevage in oak barrels before bottling.

Les Champlains is a unique Bourgogne Blanc with 95% Chardonnay complemented by 5% of Pinot Gris from vines planted in 1986 in pebbly soils and aged for 9 months in oak, 15% new. Creamy peach and apple fruit with an enticing buttery quality and restrained acidity.
