Simon Bize Bourgogne Les Perrieres 2019

"Simon Bize has long been something of an insider secret, offering serious value and even more serious aging potential from its spectrum of plots. Now, they are justifiably starting to fly above the radar. A family-run estate founded in 1868 in Savigny-lès-Beaune, built an enviable reputation under Patrick Bize, who took the reins in the 70s. Since his death in 2013, the domaine has been run by his wife, Chisa, who had worked alongside her husband in their vineyards since 2008 and studied with biodynamic pioneer Anne-Claude Leflaive at the École du Vin et des Terroirs in Puligny Montrachet.

Glowing purple with a spectacular bouquet, more about density than ripeness. Heavenly with a weight of ripe, but fresh raspberry fruit, which fills the palate and beyond, there must be a great pinot selection in the vineyard. Tasted: October 2020. - 5 Stars, 89-90 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"The 2019 Bourgogne Les Perrières is beautiful, soaring from the glass with scents of rose petals, red berries and spices. Medium-bodied, sapid and perfumed, it's lively and charming, with powdery tannins and a long, lively finish. This is just irresistible." - William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The warm vintage allowed maximum use of foot-trodden whole bunches. The colour is deep through to the rim, the depth and texture of the palate superb, Oceans of deep plum and black cherry are met hallway by a chariot of warm spices, and cedary tannins on the finish. Absolutely astonishing." 95pts - James Halliday
