2021 Domaine Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2021 Domaine Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru is a distinguished Pinot Noir crafted from premier cru vineyard sites within the Savigny-les-Beaune appellation. These vineyards, known for their excellent terroir, produce grapes that contribute to the wine's complexity and structure. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and undergo traditional fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, allowing for the development of nuanced flavors without overpowering the delicate fruit. This wine is a true reflection of the 1er Cru status, offering elegance, depth, and a balanced profile that will continue to evolve with age. It pairs beautifully with roasted game birds, duck, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms.
