Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune Les Marconnets Premier Cru 2017

Domaine Simon Bize et Fils has to be one of the best kept secrets in Burgundy today. Famed for producing wines with impressive capacity for cellaring, under the care of Chisa Bize the wines are also more dynamic and show greater aromatic detail. The Domaine has some of the oldest average vine age anywhere in the Cote d'Or, and Chisa practices her amalgam of organics and biodynamics coined as "Bize-dynamics". Yields are kept low, and winemaking utilises a high percentage of whole-cluster fermentation.

Soft wood frames the exceptionally spicy and fresh liqueur-like aromas of violet, cassis, plum and earth wisps. The lush, round and seductive medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the sappy, solidly complex and balanced finale that is youthfully austere and quite firm. Patience advised. Drink 2029+.
