"From Ladoix and Pernand fruit. A reserved nose of primarily ripe green fruit, citrus and stone is trimmed in subtle oak toast notes that give way to rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a mouth coating and beautifully intense finish. This very promising effort should deliver up to a decade's worth of potential improvement."

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.
Corton-Charlemagne is a white Grand Cru on the Corton hill in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, producing rich, powerful and mineral Chardonnay whites of great structure, aromatic complexity and remarkable aging potential.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
