"Delicate, almost feminine in style as this is built on finesse and elegance rather than power and intensity. This is quite backward and tight and the flavor profile one of grace and class with a combination of citrus and minerals that culminate in a surprisingly long finish, given the weight of the flavors. This is a bit like the 97-pound karate champion that can break 10 boards. Detail and nuance are delivered in spades as the intense flavors seemingly etch themselves into your palate. The only aspect preventing a higher score is the slight lack of mid-palate density."

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.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
