Simon Bize Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2017
Domaine Simon Bize was under the direction of Patrick Bize for 20 years or so. Sadly, during the harvest of 2017 Patrick unexpectedly passed away, at age 60. The future of this estate is somewhat unknown, but once you meet his wife, Chisa Bize, you know that the estate is the good hands. She has long been quietly involved with Patrick along the way, encouraging him the direction of organic and biodynamic farming, principals that have been quietly applied to the estate for years. Also, Nicolas Gordo, Patrickās long-time winemaker, has been overseeing the cellar work for many years and while the wines of the domaine will no longer have Patrickās finishing touch, they were left inĀ very capableĀ hands. So far, what weāve seen coming could even, dare I say, eclipse what has been achieved in the past.
