2021 Simon Bize Bourgogne 'Les Perrieres' Rouge 750Ml Bottle

This is a single site Bourgogne level wine from a very well respected and elevated site looking down on the village of Savigny les-Beaune itself. The vines here were planted in 1963, 1971, and 1980. The word ‘perrieres’, a common vineyard name, refers to the limestone-rich stones and rocks that populate the soil. I remember showing the 2009 at a tasting seminar (organised by me, and presented by Nick Stock and Jasper Morris MW), and the comments from Jasper that were echoed in the room, were that it was equal to a “villages” wine, and this particular wine, year in - year out, drank like a level higher. This site and the domaine always make a deep red burgundy that always ages well. - Randall

"The 2021 Bourgogne Les Perrières reveals aromas of orange zest, plums and peonies, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and melting palate that's one of the more delicate in the range. 86-88 pts" - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
