Bourgogne Rouge Les Perrieres Simon Bize 2017 (750ML)

87-89 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Bourgogne Les Perrières is also excellent, wafting from the glass with a classic Bize bouquet of spicy plums, cherries and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, ample and succulent, with fine chalky tannins and a subtly and mouthwateringly bitter finish." 01/19

90-92 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound: "This is aromatically cooler and a bit more restrained though not quite as complex with its elegant blend of red currant, violet, plum and soft earth hints. I very much like the silky mouth feel of the more obviously mineral-inflected flavors that deliver fine length on the mildly austere finale. This is presently less complex than the best in the range but the delivery is absolutely lovely and if more depth develops this could be excellent in time." 4/17

93 Points, William Kelley, Decanter: "Captivating aromas of forest fruits, bitter rose, orange rind and espresso are followed by a silky, almost voluptuously supple wine framed by delicate, refined tannins. A beautiful premier cru. Drinking Window 2018 - 2045."
