"A fully mature (but not post-mature) nose speaks of pungent earth, ripe dark berry fruit and subtle underbrush and animale notes that can be found on the rich, detailed and precise big-bodied flavors that are still underpinned by moderately firm but not aggressive tannins and fine length. This would normally deserve a higher rating as the depth really is quite impressive but there is a trace of finishing dryness that holds it back a bit. This will age effortlessly for years to come but it's certainly approachable now with pleasure."

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.
