Estate
   
 
The domaine’s history begins in 1880 in Savigny les Beaune. From this date forward each generation contributes hard work and savoir-faire to the development of the domaine.
1880, Great Grand-Father Simon Bize owns a few vines; it is a difficult time in the viticultural world where all work is done by hand.
   
 
1918, Grand-Father Simon Bize takes over and is able to purchases some new parcels. Horses and the arrival of new agricultural materials make vineyard work less difficult.
1950, Father Simon Bize is instrumental in the transformation of the domaine. An excellent winemaker, he decides to market his own wines, believing in the commercial potential of personal relationships between Winemaker and customer/consumer. His experience and confidence allow him to establish a network of private customers and restaurants. The quality of his wines is recognized and appreciated by wine connoisseurs.
   
 
1972, Patrick Bize accomplishes his father’s projects. He builds a vinifying facility (cuverie), extends the cellars and purchases new parcels, permitting him to propose an extended range of wine to the public.
Throughout the domaine’s history priority has always been placed on wine quality; the utmost care and attention always focused on vineard work and vinification.
Today the domaine is composed of 22 hectares (52.8 acres) and the future appears bright. Where will we be in 50 years?
