2018 Simon Bize Les Champlains Bourgogne Blanc
Domaine Simon Bize et Fils has to be one of the best kept secrets in Burgundy today. Famed for producing wines with impressive capacity for cellaring, under the care of Chisa Bize the wines are also more dynamic and show greater aromatic detail. The Domaine has some of the oldest average vine age anywhere in the Cote d'Or, and Chisa practices her amalgam of organics and biodynamics coined as "Bize-dynamics". Yields are kept low, and winemaking utilises a high percentage of whole-cluster fermentation.
Other Reviews....
Aromas of citrus blossom, yellow orchard fruit and buttery pastry introduce the 2018 Bourgogne Blanc Les Champlains, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous wine that's charming and gourmand, offering interesting gastronomic possibilities in partnership with richer cuisine. Drink 2020 - 2028.
