"[33 ha of 40+ year old vines] A pretty mix of red currant, plum and discreet sauvage hints merges into precise yet velvety medium-bodied flavors that evidence an overt austerity on the linear and moderately long finish. I let this air for 24 hours which helped considerably because upon opening this was tight and borderline tough. The change due to the aeration suggests that this will become more civilized as it ages. . ."

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 Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
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.
