Description
CELLAR TREASURES - These are wines that come from private cellars of well-known customers of ours. These are often iconic wines. The certainty we have here is that the wine has been stored in a (conditioned) cellar and is now physically in our conditioned Warehouse. Wine is a natural product and how the wine has developed over the years is unknown. We always take 360 degree photos of these wines so that you can inspect the condition of the bottle, label and also the filling. Feel free to come by if you want to inspect the bottle yourself. In many cases you can be very seriously surprised, but it can also be certain that the wine has had its best time or has already strayed further. These wines are ideal for collecting purposes or a special vertical tasting.
The history of Domaine Simon Bize & Fils in Savigny-lès-Beaune
Domaine Simon Bize & Fils is located in the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. The estate was founded in the 1950s and gained fame under the leadership of Patrick Bize, who was known for his precise and terroir-driven approach. Since his death in 2013, the estate has been continued by his wife Chisa Bize. The estate owns approximately 22 hectares of vineyards, including several Premier Cru plots. Simon Bize & Fils is known for its elegant, structured red and white Burgundies, with a focus on minimal intervention and long maturation.
The Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation and the climate in the Côte de Beaune
Savigny-lès-Beaune is located northwest of the city of Beaune and is one of the oldest wine regions in Burgundy. The terroir is varied, with chalky clay soils and a temperate continental climate. This combination produces refined, fresh Pinot Noirs with an expressive character. The vineyards are located on slopes between 220 and 360 meters in altitude, which contributes to a balanced ripening of the grapes. Savigny-lès-Beaune produces mainly red wines from Pinot Noir, with a small portion of white from Chardonnay.
Production and maturation of the 1985 Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune Rouge
The 1985 vintage is considered classic and outstanding within Burgundy. The Pinot Noir grapes were hand-harvested, sorted and partially destemmed. Fermentation took place in open wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured in French oak barrels, a small portion of which were new, for a period of approximately 18 months. The wine was bottled unfiltered to fully preserve its structure and aromatic complexity.
Color, aroma and taste of the 1985 Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune Rouge
After almost four decades of bottle aging, this wine shows a developed garnet red color with light brick reflections. The nose shows complex aromas of dried cherries, forest floor, leather and cloves. Secondary aromas of truffle, tobacco and cedar are clearly present. The taste is elegant and silky, with refined acidity and a harmonious structure. The finish is long, with earthy notes and subtle spices, typical of mature Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune.

Domaine Leroy is a legendary and prestigious wine producer based in Burgundy, France. The origins of the domain can be traced back to the Maison Leroy, a négociant (wine merchant) founded by François Leroy at the end of the 19th century.
History of Leroy
The domain was founded in 1988 by Lalou Bize-Leroy, although it has historical roots dating back to the end of the 19th century. Lalou Bize-Leroy is an iconic figure in the world of Burgundy wine and is known for her uncompromising dedication to producing some of the best and most sought-after wines in the region. Lalou Bize-Leroy, Lalou is a nickname, took over the domain and transformed it into a highly respected estate that produces both red and white Burgundy wines.
Difference between Domaine and Maison
Maison Leroy operated primarily as a négociant, meaning it purchased grapes, juice, or wine from various vineyards and growers in Burgundy. They then vinified and blended these components to create their own wines under the Maison Leroy label. Maison Leroy was known for producing a wide range of Burgundian wines, often focusing on value-driven or more accessible options alongside some more expensive selections.
Domaine Leroy is a more recent initiative founded by Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1988. Domaine Leroy is an estate that owns and manages its own vineyards. Lalou Bize-Leroy is known for her unique approach to viticulture and wine making. Domaine Leroy focuses on producing top quality wines from the vineyards owned by the estate. These wines are considered among the best and rarest in Burgundy. Production at Domaine Leroy is limited and the wines are highly sought after, known for their exceptional quality and potential. Some of Domaine Leroy's most famous wines are those from the Romanée-Conti and Richebourg vineyards.
In summary, Maison Leroy is the original family wine company that operated as a négociant and produced a range of Burgundian wines, while Domaine Leroy is a newer venture led by Lalou Bize-Leroy, focusing on estate-owned vineyards and some of the most produces productive wines. The two labels coexist, but Domaine Leroy is known for its premium and terroir-driven offering, while Maison Leroy has traditionally focused on a broader spectrum of Burgundian wines.
Leroy's Production
Domaine Leroy is known for its commitment to biodynamic agricultural practices. Lalou Bize-Leroy is a pioneer in the field of biodynamics and is known for her meticulous attention to every detail of the winemaking process, from the vineyard to the bottle. The domain has a small vineyard, resulting in a limited production of its wines. This exclusivity and scarcity contribute to the high demand and high prices of Domaine Leroy's wines. Some of their most famous and highly regarded wines include 'Romanée-Saint-Vivant', 'Nuits-St-Georges' and 'Chambertin'. Due to their limited production and exceptional quality, Leroy wines are among the most expensive and rarest in the world. It is important to note that Domaine Leroy is often mentioned in the same breath as other legendary Burgundian producers such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) and Domaine Armand Rousseau. Domaine Leroy's wines are highly regarded for their complexity, finesse and aging potential, making them a reference point for Burgundian enthusiasts and collectors.
