"The 2000 Vaillons is quite a step up from the ForĂȘt in terms of concentration, but it is also going to be a wine that drinks rather on the early side. Here the vines are twenty-five years of age, and the additional depth from the older vines is quite apparent. The nose offers up scents of apple, a bit of grapefruit, incipient notes of beeswax, floral tones and lovely oyster shell terroir. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright and quite deep, with excellent depth at the core, superb soil inflection, and excellent length and grip on the snappy 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.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
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.
