" . . . tart-edged yet confitured black fruits. Notes of sea spray and cumin call to mind the Bourgogne and old vine Gevrey in this same collection . . . . there is no mistaking another real ball of energy or the sheer length of this wine’s bright finish. Given that it had only emerged from malo a bit over a month before I tasted it, this might well have gained by the time it is bottled and ought to in any event prove worth following for the better part of a decade."

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.
