"The 2009 Fourrneaux is an absolute tour de force in 2009, as the wine soars from the glass in a stunning mĂŠlange of red and black cherries, currants, espresso, lovely minerality, a touch of blood orange and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very transparent this year, with a fine core, suave and ripe tannins, tangy acids and absolutely stunning length and grip on the soil-driven and utterly refined finish."

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.
