"From a 0.45 ha parcel of 70 + year old vines. Moderate wood influence does not dominate the notably ripe purple and blue fruit nose laced with plenty of earth and humus notes that continue onto the fresh, intense and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors that are also quite powerful and culminate in a palate staining finish. This is very Corton in 2008 though not rustic."

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.
