As produced for Patrick Bize by winemaker Guillaume Bott (ex-Sauzet), the estate's 2008 les Perrieres is composed of fruit from 4 acres of vineyards near Savigny les Beaune planted,nearly 50 years ago. This is not generic white Burgundy. Perrieres may refer to this being a (stone) walled vineyard long ago or maybe it reflects the wine's inherent minerality. Either way, it's a treat.
