History of Domaine Simon Bize

The history of Domaine Simon Bize began in 1880 with Simon Bize, a viticultural pioneer in Savigny-les-Beaune. In the midst of the phylloxera crisis, he embarked on viticulture with a few acres of vines. This modest beginning marked the origin of a family lineage that would pass on its expertise and love of the land from generation to generation. In 1918, his son Simon took over the reins and expanded the estate by acquiring new plots. He modernised viticulture through the introduction of horses and agricultural equipment, thereby easing the burden of manual labour.

It was in the 1950s that the estate underwent its first major transformation. Simon Bize (the grandson) made a bold decision: to sell the wines directly rather than going through the négociant trade. This approach allowed the estate to establish a privileged relationship with private customers, wine merchants and restaurateurs. The quality of the wines improved and began to attract the attention of connoisseurs.

In 1972, Patrick Bize, representing the fourth generation, took the reins of the estate. He expanded the portfolio by purchasing new plots and building a modern winery. During his years of management, Patrick brought the estate's wines to the pinnacle of their art, making Savigny-les-Beaune an unmissable reference. Following his tragic death in 2013, his wife Chisa Bize continued his work, infusing her own sensibility while respecting the spirit of the family house.

Terroirs and Vines of Domaine Simon Bize

Domaine Simon Bize is located in Savigny-les-Beaune, an appellation often underestimated within the Côte de Beaune, yet one that harbours exceptional richness. The estate covers approximately 22 hectares, with a diversity of terroirs spread across several plots, some of which are among the most renowned in the appellation.

The clay-limestone soils, typical of Burgundy, provide fertile ground for pinot noir and chardonnay. Each plot, whether the Premiers Crus "Les Vergelesses" or "Les Marconnets", benefits from a unique microclimate, allowing the grape varieties to express themselves fully and produce wines of great finesse and complexity. The estate's old vines, some planted as early as 1939, bring unparalleled depth and structure to the wines, particularly those intended for ageing.

In terms of viticulture, Chisa Bize embraced biodynamics as early as 2008, particularly on the "Les Serpentières" plot, in order to respect the environment and produce more authentic wines. This choice reflects the estate's commitment to sustainable farming and respect for biodiversity.

Winemaking at Domaine Simon Bize

The philosophy of Domaine Simon Bize is built on a winemaking approach that respects the integrity of the grape and the expression of the terroirs. Every step of the process is carried out with meticulous attention, from the manual harvest to the ageing in barrels.

The white wines

The white grapes, mainly from the chardonnay variety, are gently pressed upon arrival at the winery. The must is clarified naturally before being transferred to barrels for spontaneous fermentation. The estate's white wines are aged for between 9 and 15 months in oak barrels, of which 15 to 30% are new, adding subtle complexity without masking the fruit. The ageing process allows the wines to develop their freshness and fruitiness while revealing their depth and ageing potential.

The red wines

For the red wines, based on pinot noir, the estate favours a winemaking approach that respects the delicacy of the grape variety. The grapes may be vinified as whole clusters or partially destemmed, depending on the appellation and the vintage. Alcoholic fermentation lasts between 5 and 7 days, allowing the juice to absorb the aromas and tannins. After a gentle maceration, the wines are aged in barrels for approximately one year, with a minimum of new barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit. The estate's winemaking method thus prioritises elegance and balance over power or excessive extraction.
