Description

Simon Bize makes some truly excellent wines that benefit tremendously from a bit of age.

This wine was tasted way back in 1998 by Pierre Rovani of the Wine Advocate, who recognised its sweet fruit but not its ability to age and develop complexity:
"The ruby-colored Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Vergelesses possesses sweet black cherry and cassis aromatics followed by an oily-textured burst of powerful sugar-coated grape and candied cherry flavors. Medium-to-full-bodied, it is a ripe, rich, intense, and elegant wine. According to Bize, wines from this vineyard formerly sold at prices identical to red Corton. It is balanced, extremely flavorful and boasts a long, supple, and focused finish. Projected maturity: 2000-2007."

Here are the three most recent descriptive notes from Cellartracker:
7/12/2014 - SPACEWRANGLER WROTE: 93 Points
"Loaded. Intense aromatics of sandalwood, florals, tea and leather are also reflected on the palate after an hour decant. Give this air, it gains weight. Plenty of room to run."

5/29/2013 - MMDAVIS4 LIKES THIS WINE: 91 Points
"Best bottle yet from the case I bought long ago. Guess I drank most of it too young! Lovely spicy and earth nose, but no funk. Color is fairly light and brick red. Still has ample acidity but it has softened a lot. Good length. Nice mature fruit. So many of the 96 burgundies have such hard edges, as this wine did, but it appears they are finally softening. And it ONLY took 17 years! An excellent food wine!"

5/13/2013 - RICHARDSLD WROTE: 91 Points
"Subtle but amazingly complex brambly red fruit nose. As you'd expect from Bize, this is a beautifully restrained and taut wine. Sharp acidity, and a stern but approachable structure make this a serious wine for serious food."
