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.
This is the Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc from several parcels of Chardonnay around Savigny, planted in the 1990s. Opulent and broad with great weight and creamy texture. Green apples, pears, popcorn, toast and stone fruits all featuring.
