Expressive, very ripe, massively scaled, opulent, exotic, still primary fruit nose explodes from the glass to reveal lush, round, powerful flavors that just ooze extract yet have sufficient buffering acidity to keep everything in fine balance. This is a very big wine and definitely for those who admire colossal Montrachet and while all of the size, ripeness and extract are indeed impressive and dramatic, subtlety is not this wine's strong suit.

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.
