By 1918, his grandson expanded holdings with mechanized tools; in 1950, another Simon pioneered estate-bottling and direct sales, building a reputation for quality among connoisseurs. Patrick Bize elevated the domaine from 1972 with new facilities and parcels across 22 hectares in Savigny-lès-Beaune (six Premier Crus), Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Gevrey-Chambertin; since his 2013 passing, wife Chisa Bize manages alongside sister Marielle Bize-Grivot.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe domaine practices sustainable viticulture emphasizing soil health through plowing over herbicides, minimal treatments, hand-harvesting, and vineyard sorting for optimal ripeness and acidity balance. Chisa Bize initiated biodynamics in 2008 on plots like Les Serpentières to enhance authenticity, biodiversity, and environmental harmony, reflecting a commitment to terroir expression in Savigny's clay-limestone soils. Low-intervention methods prioritize vine health and precise grape maturity for elegant, site-specific wines.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-harvested grapes undergo rigorous sorting; whites are gently pressed, settled, and fermented naturally in 15-30% new oak barrels (9-15 months aging), with malolactic and lees stirring for texture, assembled without fining or filtration. Reds feature partial whole-cluster fermentation in wooden vats with foot-treaded punch-downs for finesse, avoiding over-extraction, followed by minimal new oak (1-6 years old), one-year barrel aging, natural malolactic, single racking, and bottling unfined\/unfiltered. Techniques vary by vintage and terroir, yielding delicate Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay from village to Grand Cru levels.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics and Journalist Praises\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Simon Bize is lauded for finesse and terroir fidelity in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with Burgundy-Report praising 2019 Savigny 1er Fourneaux for its \"delicious and beautifully fresh\" profile and Marconnets for 10-20 year potential. Allen Meadows (Burghound) consistently rates their wines highly for elegance, as seen in top Savigny listings.
