Premier cru Savigny from the reference domaine of the village. Simon Bize et Fils has long been the standard-bearer of Savigny-les-Beaune, making honest, terroir-driven Burgundy that overdelivers for the appellation. Aux Vergelesses is one of Savigny's finest premier crus, a sunny, wind-exposed slope where the Pinot Noir draws extra energy, minerality and richness from the particular soil. The 2008 was a fresh, classically structured Burgundy vintage. Now well-aged, it's drinking in a savory, complex mature window. Enjoy over the next few years.

"An extremely pure red currant, plum and violet suffused nose gives way to earthy and distinctly mineral-driven, rich, round and beautifully detailed flavors that are supported by excellent length and a firm tannic spine where the tannins are ripe. A lovely wine of balance and drive."

Robert Parker

"The 2008 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses has been drinking beautifully for the last couple of years, and this bottle was as lovely as ever, bursting from the glass with expressive aromas of Giotte cherry, potpourri, woodsmoke and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, sapid and melting, with a juicy core of fruit that fleshes out with air, concluding with a long, savory finish. I'd be inclined to start pulling corks now, but readers looking for a more tertiary expression of Savigny will follow this Vergelesses with pleasure for the better part of a decade." —William Kelley

Perfect Pairings

Coq au vin, roast pheasant, mushroom dishes, or Burgundian cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied Pinot Noir, mature: dried red fruit, earth, minerals and gentle spice. Soft tannins, the bright acidity of a cool vintage, long finish. Drinking well now.
