Wonderfully stylish and elegant nose of spicy, pure and still quite fresh black and red fruits that display only traces of secondary development. The mineral-driven middle weight flavors are nervous and quite fine while being underpinned by racy acidity and while this is mildly drying, it is by no means hard or drying. The finish is focused, precise and nicely long and this will require patience but should reward it amply. Simply beautiful juice that is much more about refinement and elegance than power. Note that while this could easily be approached now, I would be inclined to give it a few more years in the cellar for my personal taste.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
