"This isn't quite as ripe as the Rouget yet this is really lovely with an understated purity and detail that I find utterly beguiling. Like many '96s today, this is not an especially dense or powerful wine though there is good if not truly exceptionally mid-palate sap, fine intensity and incipient complexity all framed and highlighted by prominent finishing acidity. This should enjoy a long life as there is excellent balance and the essential character here is one of finesse rather than power. Multiple, and consistent, notes."

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.
