- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village has a well-defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, white pepper and a touch of clove. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely balance and a keen thread of acidity. The 100% whole bunches lend a guiding hand rather than dictating the wine, which equals some clever winemaking. Recommended." 89-91 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: A cuvée blending of parcels planted between 1965 and 1978 situated on the right bank of the Rhoin river. 100% whole bunch fermentation. Little to no new oak for the aging in order to preserve the typical aromas of the delicate Pinot Noir varietal. The oak barrels vary in age from one to six years old. The reds are racked only once at the end of the barrel aging period. Each cuvée is then assembled in stainless steel vats prior to bottling. Wines are neither fined nor filtered. Simon Bize & Fils

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: A family-run estate founded in 1868, Patrick Bize began building its enviable reputation when he took the reins in the 1970s. Since his death in 2013, the domaine has been run by his wife, Chisa, who had worked alongside her husband in their vineyards since 2008 and studied with biodynamic pioneer Anne-Claude Leflaive at the École du Vin et des Terroirs in Puligny-Montrachet. While only a couple of their vineyards are fully biodynamic, the domaine's techniques remain traditional and as hands-off as possible. For the reds, that means harvesting whole or partially-whole clusters, which are punched down by foot to avoid harsh extraction, and see little to no new oak during barrel ageing. Each cuvée is assembled in stainless steel vats prior to bottling, with no fining or filtration. This produces plush, weighty wines, with the feel of hearty, old-school Savigny-lès-Beaune. The flagship wines come from the steep slopes of vineyards like 1er Cru 'Aux Vergelesses' and, even after decades, taste as vivid as the day they were made. The sheer concentration and balance of Bourgogne Rouge 'Les Perrières' ensures it ages beautifully; the Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin, yet more so. Keeling Andrew
