"The 1989 Chevalier-Montrachet-Les Demoiselles, made in microscopic quantities from a 1.23 acre parcel, is an enormously weighty, blockbuster Chardonnay . . . . It reminds me somewhat of the 1980 Chalone. The honeyed, creamy richness, and the huge aromas of smoke, flowers, tropical fruits and nuts are celestial. Drink this extraordinarily concentrated, beautifully crafted bottle of wine [over the years] . . ."

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