"Deep, sulfidey, leesy aromas of pear liqueur, hazelnut and menthol; conveys a distinctly raw aspect in a positive way. Thick, dense, sweet and chewy, with ripe, sound acidity perfectly framing the wine silky fruit. Really stuffed to the gills with fruit, and remarkably chewy and dense, but not at all bitter or hard. A wonderfully suave, harmonious wine with superb length on the palate. It hard to imagine that the 2001 will match this for sheer class."

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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
