2018 Domaine Simon Bize Savigny-Lès-Beaune "Aux Grands Liards", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2017 Domaine Simon Bize Savigny-Les-Beaune "Aux Grands Liards" is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of Savigny-Les-Beaune’s esteemed vineyard sites. "Aux Grands Liards" is known for its gravelly soils, which contribute to the wine’s finesse and minerality. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented using indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels, a small percentage of which are new. The careful winemaking process highlights the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir. This wine is approachable in its youth but also has the potential to develop further with aging. It pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, duck, or mushroom dishes.
