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.

Aux Grands Liards is one of Bize's most sought-after wines, made from a small vineyard in Savigny-Les-Beaune where some of the vines were planted as long ago as the 1930s. Aged for 18 months in a mixture of new and old oak, this has delicate, smoky red berry fruit and floral tones along with deep savoury notes of wet leaves and mushrooms.
