{"product_id":"simon-bize-bourgogne-blanc-les-champlains-2023-750ml","title":"Simon Bize, Bourgogne Blanc Les Champlains, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eBize's whites have long tasted to us like Puligny-Montrachet with an orange-blossom twist, and Les Champlains performs that trick at the humblest rung of the Burgundy ladder. The parcel is four hectares of intensely pebbly, east-facing ground above Savigny-les-Beaune, so stony that the old dry-stone huts scattered across it are basically a soil report; nobody was farming it until Simon Bize decided to plant it in 1986. It isn't pure Chardonnay either, but about 95% Chardonnay with 5% Pinot Gris, an old Burgundian habit that lends a little extra breadth. Domaine Simon Bize is the reference address of Savigny, run since Patrick Bize's death in 2013 by his widow Chisa, who trained in biodynamics with Anne-Claude Leflaive and now farms part of the estate that way; the regional wines get native-yeast fermentation and restrained oak, exactly like the crus. 2023 was a hot year with a very generous crop, and the Chardonnays came in balanced and transparent rather than heavy. Drink over the next four or five years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46386528944185,"sku":"NYC-4-GCR-`GCRU4851-23A`-082426-10","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Simon-Bize-Bourgogne-Blanc-Les-Champlains-2023-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1787841636","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/simon-bize-bourgogne-blanc-les-champlains-2023-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
