Wonderful nose. Huge value. Already drinking nice — 5 years ago
Burgundy with pizza night? Why not. This was expressive and forward if not terribly refined, plush and expansive on the palate with bright, tangy red berries and sour cherry, while showing some secondary notes of forest floor and leather. Firm tannic spine keeps the whole thing together. Couldn’t help but polish off the whole bottle to wash down the (perhaps one too many) slices. — 5 years ago
Mr Bize rocks it with this crisp, tart minerally Chard. Apple, lemon and marzipan. So refreshing and a great value — 5 years ago

Still a baby but very promising, with intense mineral and floral character, chewy texture and superb persistence. — 7 years ago
Tasted 28/04/2016
Vibrant, intriguing, eloquent nectar made of Heida (Savagnin Blanc), idiosyncratic to Valais.
Dense shimmering brass color, golden glitters.
Wet hay, mint, soaked apples, quince, sage, limestone, pinecone. Caramelized peach.
Fat-bodied, zesty palate. Lively acidity supported by tough mineral kick and kumquat peels, unripe cantaloupe, bruised quince, laurel, sage flavors.
Interminable finish...
Unique winexperience!

Pairings... I tried several ones.
First was 'C_Bro favorite': cute little bunny, trapped, skinned, disemboweled and baked in sourcream with allspice, garlic, onion, juniper, carrots and thyme.
Than - moderatetly spicy grilled reindeer sausages.
And finally mature + blue mold cheese plate.
All three played well. — 9 years ago
In a perfect place. Always love Bize and with some nice age this is great. Excellent pick from the somm at Daniel. Beautifully aromatic with wonderful fruit. Just a slight hint of tannin, but still good lifting acid on the finish. Great pairing with both a skin-on black bass as well as a nice strip loin. Long finish. — 4 years ago

Un beau vin de terroir sans bois bravo — 5 years ago
Reduction, slighty sulphuric, flinty smoke. On the 2nd day it opened up with red apples and lemonpeel, still some flint and wet stones, very tight and fresh style. Minerality like drinking a quarry. Amazing value. — 6 years ago

This wine has a really crisp and zippy acidity that really punctuates your taste buds and cleanses the palate.
