Wines of Bize and Burgundy

Simon Bize, who has been making top notch wines for over a century, is widely regarded as one of the ten leading producers in Burgundy. That's quite an accolade!

This week we present a wonderful selection of his best from the last 12 years, exclusively for Accent on Wine customers.

The philosophy and style of Simon Bize is to produce wines that are a perfect expression of their terroir; the land has been and still is cultivated by hand and the emphasis is on harvesting fruit as naturally as possible.

Our relationship with Simon Bize goes back many years now. Customers who have tried Bize wines from us in the past will be quick to snap these up, especially the older vintages of '99 and '02, where quantities are extremely limited.

If you are a fan of great Burgundy and Pinot Noir par excellence then try these; you won’t be disappointed.

Salud!
Miguel and Jean-Pierre

Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Fournaux" 2002 2010-09-03NZD $94.95NZD $84.95 Burgundy
Some of you will know this producer as being one of the top 10 in Burgundy and frankly one of the best value for money to be found in all of Burgundy. This is a 1er Cru "Les Fournaux" one of the best sites in Savigny-les-Beaune where Simon Bize has had vineyard holdings for many years. Les Fournaux 1er Cru is quite different to the Aux Vergelesses, it is a lot more feminine, fragrant and fruity but still displaying terrific terroir, minerality and impeccable purity and focus. Cellar for 8-10 years.
Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Marconnets" 1999 2010-09-03NZD $94.95NZD $84.95 Burgundy
Interesting and exciting Premier Cru. At 11 years of age it is still fresh, with a bouquet of spring garden flowers but tighter, more focused and less fruity than the Vergelesses. However more vibrant, more delineated with absolutely beautiful racy acidity. Upon opening, it takes about half an hour to 45 minutes to come out and really show its true colours, incredible middle palate, pin point accuracy, definition and absolute clarity. Fantastic!
Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune "Les Bourgeots" 2003 2010-09-03NZD $59.95NZD $54.95 Burgundy
This is another of our exclusive imports from the family estate of Bize dating back to the early 19th century, the existing Domaine managed by Patrick Bize is the absolute leader in Savigny les Beaune. If you were to look at what real viticulture is, Simon Bize would be one of the best exponents. When it comes to the expression of terroir, this is it, the vines are generally old and yields low. Bize never exceeds 40 hl/ha. The 2003 vintage is a very hot one which kept yields extremely low. The wine at the moment is showing immense concentration, depth and massive structures yet clean, elegant and pure. There is no doubt that this is what great Pinot Noir should be. Cellar for 5 years.
Simon Bize Bourgogne "Les Perrieres" Rouge 2007 2010-09-03NZD $39.95NZD $36.95 Burgundy
A lot of you will be familiar with Simon Bize for being one of the top 10 producers in Burgundy. This single vineyard wine expresses the typical terroir of Burgundy which in vintages like 2007 have produced a classic style with racy acidity, soft velvety tannins and tremendous middle palate. The bouquet is loaded with Spring flowers and lavender, on the palate it is clean, subtle and juicy yet offers depth, concentration with superb aromas of truffle shavings and forrest undergrowth. This is starting to drink beautifully now but will also cellar for another 4-5 years.
Simon Bize Aloxe Corton "Le Suchot" 2002 2010-09-03NZD $59.95NZD $54.95 Burgundy
The 2002 vintage in Burgundy is becoming a classic and one of the best vintages in the last 25 years. This is another of Simon Bize's top properties situated in the appellation of Aloxe Corton. The single vineyard of Les Suchot offers deep truffle flavours with good depth, structure and longevity. The 2002 vintage was a high acid year which produced vibrant yet elegant wines with great depth and character even though in the true style of Aloxe Corton. The wine is soft, velvety with an outstanding silky texture. Given the exuberant prices of some New Zealand Pinot Noirs, this is not just a pretender, but the real thing. Delivering twice the quality for a lot less money. Drink now or cellar for 2-3 years.
