". . . This bottle was wonderfully spicy, intense and pure with excellent integration of the abundant extract and structure as the finish is firm but with superb buffering material and a subtle finishing minerality. In particular, I was struck by how fresh this was relative to so many aromatically dull '97s. In short, a sensational effort for the vintage and like the Richebourg, it has pleasantly surprised me with how slowly it is evolving."

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.
