"Bize-Leroy this year amalgamated the fruits of Allots, Bas de Combe, and Lavieres – each subjected to separate bottlings in 2005 – into a single 2006 Nuits-St.-Georges. Scents of extremely ripe black fruits and peach accompanied by subtle smokiness lead into a sumptuously ripe, creamy palate that preserves the primary fruit juiciness and exhibits the textural refinement and lift characteristic of so many of the best wines of its vintage. Hints of toasted praline add lovely bitter-sweetness to a long caressing finish. This is a perfect example of a 2006 one would not want to miss out on enjoying young, even though it will almost surely possess considerable aging potential."

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.
