"The wines by François Lamarche are never blockbusters, and the 2008 Échézeaux is a case in point: but it is beautifully balanced, with archetypal Burgundian Pinot Noir grace and charm delivered in spades. The tannins are surprisingly supple for a 2008: considering how miserable 2008 could have turned out to be (millerandage, oidium, mildew, and rain were all part of a growing season that was essentially saved by nearly perfect late September weather) this is a remarkably polished, successful wine that matched well with my lusciously creamy plin."

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.
