Goedhuis, December 2019
This wine from the appellation’s upper slopes is always one of the most stylish in the cellar. A beautiful mix of dark cherry and dried winter fruits. The opulent fruit is balanced by rounded but firm tannins. It has all the key ingredients: sweetness, depth and power.

Neal Martin, January 2020, Score: 87-89
The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Guettes 1er Cru has a lovely, very harmonious bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, and perhaps the most mineral-driven of Bize’s 2018s. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, but quite dense with a strong marine influence toward the finish. "This is a perfect example of where we pushed the extraction," Chisa Bize explained, and I can see what she means, as it feels a little forced. Drink 2021-2028

Rich purple, showing the beaming face of the vintage in Chisa’s words, fresh blackberry, with spice and lively raspberry, this is a fabulous nose and not too ripe. Absolutely complete right across the palate, lively svelte, mouth-filling, with a detailed finish The tannins are entirely integrated and an amazing aftertaste. Sign me up!

Domaine Simon Bize is a substantial estate by Burgundy standards, with 22 hectares mainly in the appellation of Savigny Lès Beaune and two fine grand cru parcels in Corton Charlemagne and Latricières Chambertin. It is now under the careful management of Chisa, the late Patrick Bize’s wife, and Marielle Grivot, Patrick’s sister. They like to continue his practice of whole bunch fermentation and gentle handling of the fruit during the vinification process. The result is always very stylish wines, which possess the sweetness of fruit and subtle core of tannins, which are such a character of the wines of Savigny.Read less
Region
Savigny-lès-Beaune
The picturesque village of Savigny-lès-Beaune, just to the north of Beaune, is a relatively prolific producer in Burgundian terms. Less serious than its neighbours, Pommard and Volnay, these are nonethless delicious wines - perfumed, delicate and elegant. A tiny amount of white is produced.
