". . . still largely primary, and softly oaky, red, black and blue fruit aromas that are nuanced by hints of violets, underbrush, spice and game. The impressively complex, delicious, intense, detailed and classy big-bodied flavors are remarkably refined for a classic Corton yet this is an entirely serious wine of exceptional length and perfect balance. As it has been since its release, this is a stunner of a wine that is still on the way up yet it's no longer so structured that it couldn't be enjoyed now though with that said, I would advise continuing to hold it. in a word, terrific."

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.
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.
