Domaine Simon Bize
The Domaine has a reputation for producing wines which consistently punch above their weight and they are some of the best value in the Côte d'Or.
Patrick Bize was on fine form when we visited to taste his 2010s and he was clearly very happy with the quality of the vintage. The Domaine has a reputation for producing wines which consistently punch above their weight and they are some of the best value in the Côtes d'Or. We have followed the wines for the last 25 years but the estate dates back to the 1860's. The vines are generally old and the yields are low and with Patrick in charge the Domaine fully deserves its reputation as Savigny's leading producer. Patrick uses traditional methods in the cellar, avoids over extracting and is careful not to over oak his wines in order to preserve the inherent elegance and balance of the fruit in his wines. Tasting the 2010s from barrel to barrel, we were impressed by the elegance and freshness of the whites and the wonderful purity of fruit and definition in the reds.

| White | price per case in bond | |
| Bourgogne Blanc les Perrières | £135.00 |  |
A lively and refreshing wine from a stony plot to the west of the village. The terroir expresses itself on the finish with a lively mineral edge, a perfect foil to the soft, juicy citrus fruit flavours on the mid palate. Mouth watering acidity gives persistence and length. This wine is all about charm and elegance and it will be perfect to drink over the next few years. Drink from release.
| Savigny lès Beaune Blanc | £195.00 | |
Immediately inviting on the nose with floral, ripe citrus characters with hints of brioche and spices. There is an attractive tension on the palate between the soft stone fruit flavours and a lively, refreshing acidity. Delicious now, but a wine which will age nicely over the next few years. Drink from release.
| Savigny lès Beaune Blanc 1er Cru Vergelesses | £320.00 | Sold Out |
Pure grapefruit and stone fruit aromas abound on the nose but there is also great focus and definition. This carries through to the palate where pure, stone fruits mingle with more subtle white floral notes. There is great energy and persistence on the finish and while this wine will be delicious young, it has the capacity to age well for five years or more. Drink from 2013.
| Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru | £995.00 | Sold Out |
A grand, complex wines which manage to combine great intensity of ripe citrus fruit with superb elegance and persistence, supported by a refined mineral character with just a hint of white truffles. There is a lot going on and this is a very young wine which will need some patience before it reaches its full expression. Drink from 2015.
| Red | price per case in bond | |
| Bourgogne Rouge les Perrières | £145.00 | |
This will be delicious to drink in the next few years but the wine also has grip and depth. The aromas are sweet, juicy and dark, and the palate is vigorous and refreshing with dark, brambly fruit notes. Drink from 2012.
| Savigny Lès Beaune les Grands Liards | £225.00 | |
Attractive red berry fruits combine with delicate rose petal and violet notes which open out in the glass. There are some detailed tannins and great purity of fruit with a hint of bramble apple on the palate. There is vigour and intensity here and an elegant definition. Drink from 2014.
| Savigny Lès Beaune 1er Cru Les Talmettes | £275.00 | |
The Les Talmettes vineyard is at the crest of the south facing hillside of Savigny and benefits from full sunshine. The 2010 from Bize has juicy, red berry characters on the nose mingled with notes of violets and wild flowers. The palate is full of succulent, red forest fruits which build in intensity, with an exotic, dark and brooding floral character in the background. Drink from 2014.
| Savigny Lès Beaune 1er Cru Aux Fournaux | £275.00 | |
Located on a gentle, south-west exposure, next to the famous Vergelesses and Lavières vineyards, this is a very compelling and beautifully fragrant Fournaux with pure cherry and cassis aromas. The tannins are beautifully integrated and the fruit is dark, juicy and refreshing with an attractive note of herbs and spices on the finish. Drink from 2014
| Savigny Lès Beaune 1er Cru les Guettes | £295.00 | |
Attractive, ripe, juicy forest fruits on the nose. Dark berry fruits combine with sweet savoury flavours on the palate with a hint of wild herbs and brambles. This is an easy going, mouthfilling wine which will be delicious young, but is has the capacity to age for five or more years. Drink from 2014.
| Savigny Lès Beaune 1er Cru Vergelesses | £330.00 | Sold Out |
| 6 magnums £340.00 | |
|
A classic Vergelesses from Bize and consistently good, the 2010 has plenty of rich, dark fruits on the nose and a sophisticated, balanced palate with supple, dark plum and raspberry fruit characters. Just a hint of wild berries and herbs on the finish. This is an energetic wine with lots of personality, like the man himself. Drink from 2015.
| Latricières Chambertin Grand Cru | £1,050.00 | Sold Out |
Consistently one of the finest examples from this vineyard, since Patrick's purchase in 1995, the 2010 seems to have reached another level of complexity. The nose bursts with bright redcurrants and raspberry fruit characters, with a hint of bramble apple, while the palate shows incredible energy and freshness, with juicy, mouthfilling and crunchy tannins - "croquant" but also very complete and elegant. Drink from 2017.
