"The 2009 Sous la Velle bottling from Anne Boisson is a more elegant and accessible example of the vintage right out of the blocks, but not without its own structural integrity and lovely spine of acidity. The very refined bouquet jumps from the glass in a blend of apples, passion fruit, almonds, apple blossoms, a lovely and complex base of soil and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with fine mid-palate depth, impeccable focus and balance and great backend cut and grip. The finish is long, snappy and beautifully delineated. It will be delicious from release, but should have no problem aging gracefully a couple of decades . . ."

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 Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
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.
