As produced by Patrick Bize (his penultimate vintage. R.I.P. Patrick), the estate's 2010 les Perrieres is composed of fruit from 5+ acres of vineyards near Savigny les Beaune planted, nearly 50 years ago. This is not generic red 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.
