Sadly, the 2012 vintage turned out to be Patrick Bize's last (R.I.P. Patrick.) Les Perrieres is composed of fruit from 5+ acres near Savigny les Beaune planted nearly 50 years ago and now farmed biodynamically. 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. Both a treat and a tribute.
