A strikingly fresh, ripe and expressive nose combines elegant blue and red pinot fruit, cassis, plum and Asian spice hints before sliding seamlessly into wonderfully pure and transparent medium plus weight flavors underpinned by a firm tannic spine that is itself buffered by seemingly buckets of sap. This is tightly focused today but I estimate that it should come into its prime drinking window in 8 to 10 years.

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.
