A 2010 made by Patrick Bize himself, sixteen years on and reaching us from a private cellar rather than the domaine. Aux Vergelesses is Bize's emblematic premier cru: 1.9 hectares of steep, south-southeast-facing sandy marl and limestone above Savigny, planted in stages in 1939, 1949 and 1954, so the vines were well past fifty years old by the time this was picked. Bize was famously reluctant to talk technique. When we visited, he preferred to discuss feelings and flavors, touch and taste and instinct, while the biggest names in Burgundy dropped by to talk over the year's challenges with him. 2010 produced a small crop of thick-skinned berries with high natural acidity, which is exactly why the reds have aged the way they have: structured, fresh and transparent rather than opulent. Decant it and expect the tertiary layers that only sixteen years and a good cellar produce.
