Domaine Simon Bize et Fils Les Talmettes 2022
Domaine Simon Bize et Fils Les Talmettes 2022 is an elegant Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru in Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France, from 0.8 ha of 1968/1978-planted vines on south-facing clay-limestone soils.
Vineyard notes:
"High up the hill, this south facing parcel looks over the village of Savigny. Protected from the winds blowing in from the north, Les Talmettes provides a characteristically softer wine than that of its “twin” Les Vergelesses."
Tasting Profile
