"Bright dark red. Reticent crushed stone aroma, with intriguing white fruit notes of peach and lemon skin; I might have picked this as a minerally chardonnay if I had a bag over my head. Then surprisingly sweet, silky and ripe, with good definition and rocky verve. This is a warm clos, but the north-south orientation of the vine rows gives the fruit some protection from the hot midday sun. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and good lingering perfume."

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.
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.
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.
