"The 2009 Bourgogne Vieilles Vignes flows from the glass with layers of beautifully delineated fruit. This old-vine cuvee is marvelously fresh. Green pears, lime and white flowers are some of the notes that linger on the soft, enveloping finish. The Vielles Vignes emerges from vines that are more than 70 years old."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
