Description

"This is the red equivalent and also the entry level for Simon Bize but it’s beautifully made, medium to full body with a lovely texture, dry herbs, hints of rosemary and lavender and for an entry level red Burgundy, it punches well above its weight. 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Simon Bize & Fils

The history of the Estate begins in 1880 in Savigny-les-Beaune. Since then, generations have followed one another, each bringing their work and their knowledge to the development of the Estate.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most expensive, most lauded, rarest and delicious wines. Equally it is one of the most difficult grapes to grow successfully and as a result it is quite hard to make a balanced Pinot Noir. It is historically from Burgundy, most specifically in the Cote de Nuits, so much so that people will refer to Pinot Noir as a 'Burgundy'.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
