"A .67 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines. Ripe black berry and cherry liqueur-like aromas cut with plenty of earth and underbrush give way to very rich, full-bodied and seductively textured flavors. There is an abundance of dry extract that renders the otherwise firm and dusty tannins almost invisible on the serious and impressively persistent finish."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
