â(Laurent told me he buys from two cousins who own the same 1926 planting and vinify in the same manner.) Ruby-red. Cool, brooding, slightly medicinal nose hints at menthol and dark chocolate. Then extremely primary and backward on the palate, with powerful black fruit, mineral and floral flavors offering terrific precision and verve. Youthful and quite forceful on the very long, pure finish.â

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.
