"The 2009 vintage marks the 20th birthday for the replanted vines in Goutte dâOr and the wine is really starting to come back into form. The nose on the â09 is stellar, as it offers up a complex mĂŠlange of apple, oranges, hazelnuts, a lovely, complex base of soil, gentle notes of iodine, a touch of toast and a very stylish framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and beautifully balanced, with fine mid-palate depth, bright acids, fine focus and impressive length and grip on the pure and suave finish. This will drink very well from the outset, but four or five years of cellaring will certainly pay dividends in terms of multi-layered complexity. Classy juice."

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.
