The 2022 Burgundy vintage, both red and white, is highly regarded, showcasing concentration balanced by freshness, and a delightful mix of luscious fruit and minerality. Simon Bize is celebrated as a benchmark for authenticity and finesse, with their old vines and low yields contributing significantly to the wine's remarkable concentration. The estate, now skillfully managed by Patrick Bize's wife Chisa and sister Marielle, upholds respectful winemaking traditions, including the use of indigenous yeasts and minimal filtration. Chisa Bize has even noted that some wines are made without any added sulfur, yet maintain impressive freshness. This Bourgogne Blanc "Les Champlains" 2022 is lauded as excellent for its category, presenting an intense nose with hints of flint, yellow stone fruit, and citrus. The palate is notably full and ripe, echoing the yellow fruit, and is described as fresh and very enjoyable. Other notes highlight a charming array of apple and floral elements, making it bright, cheerful, and fun. It's a chiseled, taut Chardonnay with precise fruit, offering fresh pear, chalk, and candied lemon on the nose, culminating in a lingering saline finish. It truly embodies a vibrant, luscious, and mineral character. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include a variety of cheeses, seafood, lobster, fish, and white meats, especially those served with a cream sauce. 🥂 This bright, cheerful, and fun wine is perfect for immediate enjoyment or can be cellared for a couple of years. It's an excellent choice for an aperitif or to complement a meal. 【Intensity and directness rarely found at this level, thanks to old vines and minimal intervention.】
