Savory herbs, undergrowth, peppercorns, wet stones and a touch of iron on the nose. Supple and savory on the palate, with stemmy tannins and a long, textural finish. Drink now or hold.

Bize owns 2.1 hectares here, including a half-hectare of Chardonnay. The red has an explosive blackberry and wild strawberry fruit aroma with hints of fresh and dried flowers, earth, and cigar leaf. The texture is tannic and firm but less tightly-wound than the 2020s. Fermentation is done as whole clusters; the wine is aged in cask, with just 5 – 10% new. When finished, this delicious wine should be approachable earlier than some vintages have been.
