En Primeur | Domaine Simon Bize
Domaine Simon Bize is a substantial estate by Burgundian standards, with 22 hectares mainly in the appellation of Savigny Lès Beaune including six very diverse 1ers Crus and two fine Grands Crus parcels in Corton Charlemagne and Latricières Chambertin. Just like DRC, the domaine has continued the traditional practice of working with whole bunches during the vinification. Having drifted out of fashion in the 80s and 90s, whole bunch vinification is now receiving renewed credibility throughout the Côtes.
2022 Bourgogne Les Perrieres Simon Bize

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 86-88
The 2022 Bourgogne Perrières has a fragrant bouquet with Golden Delicious, lime, and just a touch of peach skin. The medium-bodied palate has fine weight. It’s very primal at the moment, with plenty of extract on the finish. This will be a textural wine. Fine. Drinking Window: 2024-2027.
