(FOURNEAUX Simon Bize) Simon Bize Dear Friends, Simon Bize is on fire - it’s as simple as that. I’m extremely excited about both of the wines below and the 2006 portfolio was just gushed over yesterday by Allen Meadows in the new Burghound and I couldn’t agree more. This is one of the finest sets of red Burgundy produced in 2005 or 2006 and few will argue that point once they taste the wines. Even Patrick Bize feels his 2006’s are as good or better than his 2005’s (you can read his verbiage in the Burghound). This Domaine elevates Savigny into new territory and the 2006’s will really wow people. Both of these are VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and EXTREMELY LIMITED - Please don’t let the one point differential in the scores fool you, they are of equal worth just different styles. Very little of each coming to the US: 2006 Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune “Les Marconnets” 2006 Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune “Aux Fourneaux” Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg7989 Burg7988
