Goedhuis, December 2021
This village blend comes from three different parcels planted by successive generations of the family in 1939, 1950 and 1979, on just under 2 hectares of vineyards. Always an archetypal Savigny, this is perfumed with wild alpine fruits so typical of whole cluster winemaking. This comprises layers of sweet flowing fruit underpinned by fine-grained tannins and a gentle touch of freshness. This is a great introduction to the domaine’s classic style.

Neal Martin, December 2021, Score: 90-92
The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards has a lifted bouquet with red cherries, a touch of blackcurrant pastilles and violet, pure and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and linear at the moment with a saline finish. Give this 4-5 years in bottle. Drink 2025 - 2038

Burghound, April 2022, Score: 88-91
This is aromatically similar to the straight Savigny though with a bit more floral influence. The sleek, intense and palate coating flavors possess fine density with good power and punch suffusing the lingering if mildly warm finish that also make clear that at least some patience is in order. Drink 2028+

Brutal black purple. There is something slightly lactic on the nose. Dark brambly fruit, this is like an over-dry 2005 in style. Abrupt at the finish. Where will this go?
Producer
Domaine Simon Bize et Fils
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.
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.
