"Made from extremely old vines located in Teurons, Vignes Franches and Les Cras, vinified with 30% of the stems, aged in 500 liter 100% new oak barrels, of which there were only two, and aged for 20 to 24 months. A very serious, ripe and highly complex nose is presently brooding and only grudgingly giving up glimpses of earthy dark berry fruit that is followed by fresh and energetic medium-bodied flavors blessed with excellent detail, beautiful purity of expression and ample minerality on the powerful, deep and moderately austere finish where a hint of wood surfaces. As it usually is, this is quite promising as the length is truly stunning."

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.
