"The wine is really quite lovely, offering up a sweet nose of raspberries, cherries, cocoa powder, sous bois, cinnamon and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and lush, with good depth at the core, admirable purity for the vintage, and good length and bounce on the tangy finish. The ’89 DRC RSV has really impressive acidity for this torrid year, and is one of the better bottles of 1989 red Burgundy that I have tasted in recent years. It will continue to drink well . . ."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
