About the producer:

There are a handful of Domaines in Burgundy that we think of as almost being synonymous with their village - Domaine Simon Bize is one of them.

The domaine has a long history, having been founded in 1890, and farms 22 hectares of vines. Their holdings are a laundry list of Savigny-les-Beaune's best sites, from perfectly situated lieux-dits to the best premier cru parcels of the appellation. Their house style is one partial to whole cluster fermentation for the reds and little to no new oak on both whites and reds. 

About the cuvee:

Bize's village Savigny blanc is sourced from multiple parcels, totaling just under 5 acres. As with all of their farming, it is done according to organic principles, though they are not certified. In the cellar, the wine undergoes fermentation by ambient yeasts, and is aged for 12 months in primarily neutral barrels (up to 15% new).
