"The 1991 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru has a beautiful bouquet with rose petals infusing the ebullient red berry fruit. It loses some of its initial chutzpah in the glass, but compensates by added complexity via secondary aromas such as sage and Lapsang Souchong. The palate has a touch more body and backbone than the 1996 tasted alongside. The tannins seem very fine here, with impressive body towards the 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.
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.
