"The Harmand-Geoffroy Vieilles Vignes bottling all hails from their parcels on the northern side of the commune and was raised in forty percent new oak this year. The wine was showing beautifully at the time of my visit and seems likely to drink just a tad sooner than the Clos Prieur. The bouquet delivers a fine mélange of sappy black cherries and sweet dark berries, raw cocoa, grilled meats, a touch of bonfire and a lovely base of smoky new wood. On the palate the wine is plush, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with suave tannins and really lovely acidity adding vibrancy and bounce on the long and complex finish. Fine juice."

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.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
