Simon Bize... All Bottles Now IN-STOCK. Get Yours!
Simon Bize, Savigny-les-Beaune
Chisa Bize leads the camp here at her inherited Domaine. The wines reflect the relationship she shares with her vineyards, and not the typicity of the vintage. For those who have overlooked 2018 Red Burgundies, these are well worth your attention. All freshness and lovely nuanced spiced fruit play with an unctuous savory quality.
In recent years, Chisa has created a culture at the Domaine embracing diversity and allowing an open lab of work experience for worldly travelers looking to break into the wine industry. Chisa is one BADASS to keep up with managing the Domaine and fostering a space to allow such dynamism. Chisa is a steward, a gate keeper, a modern-day influencer, and one who leads by doing. Her philosophy in the vineyard is very impressive as she strives to find balance in nature and allow the ecosystem to thrice by finding its natural order. Older and less vigorous vines are kept and natured like an elderly member of the family and Chisa is happy with the fruits they yield as she considers them just as important to the bigger picture. Clearly this influence has inspired a great many of younger vigneron and a camp of talented women vigneron that have been exciting to follow. A true badass alright.
The wines...
2018 Savigny-les-Beaune aux Vergelesses 2018 – WA 92, VN 90-92, CT 92.2
“The 2018 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses has turned out nicely, mingling hints of rose petals and exotic spices with aromas of sweet berries and forest floor in an inviting mélange. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and complete, with a muscular chassis of tannin and a rich core of fruit.” - William Kelly, Jan. 14th, 2021. Drinking Date: 2023 - 2045
2018 Savigny-les-Beaune les Marconnets – VN 91-93, JM 90-93, CT 90.8
“The 2018 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Marconnets 1er Cru has one of the finest bouquets from Bize's 2018s, featuring pure black cherry, bilberry and pressed iris aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle tannins, crisp black fruit laced with black pepper and a harmonious finish. Good potential.” - Neal Martin, tasting date: November 2019. Drinking window: 2021 - 2034
2018 Savigny-les-Beaune aux Grands Liards – JM 90-92 5 Stars, VN 88-90, CT 90
"Imperial purple with a feisty nose to match. Very dense fruit for a village wine, more tannins here but with a crunchy fruit to match. A little bit of ripe strawberry, otherwise dark cherry and raspberry. A very classy Savigny." - Jasper Morris, tasted Nov 2019
2022 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Fourneaux - VN 91-93, JM 90-92, BH 89-91
"The 2022 Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Fournaux ler 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." - By Neal Martin on October 2023
