About: Simon Bize et Fils, a revered name in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, is based in the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. The original Simon Bize laid the domaine's foundation and began with a modest holding of vineyards during the challenging phylloxera crisis. His son, also named Simon, took over in 1918, expanding the vineyard holdings and benefiting from advancements like horse-drawn plows that eased vineyard labor. In 1950, the next generation, yet another Simon Bize, transformed the domaine by focusing on directly marketing their wines and establishing strong relationships with private clients and restaurants.
