"Also from a full 1 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines that saw 40% new wood. Very mild wood influence allows the notably ripe aromas of white peach, pear liqueur and acacia blossom aromas to shine without any material hindrance. The rich, powerful and impressively concentrated large-scaled flavors possess an opulent yet fine mouth feel along with a palate staining, explosive and hugely long finish of almost painful intensity. As it often does at this address, the '09 Sauzet Combettes delivers grand cru level quality."

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 pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
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.
