"From a 0.53 ha parcel. A wonderfully fresh, cool and complex nose of wet stone and airy red berry fruit coupled with hints of underbrush and pungent Gevrey-style earth serves as a worthy foil for the detailed, intense and gorgeously energetic middle weight flavors that possess real verve on the refined, pure and stunningly long finish. This is a serious effort yet the ripeness of the '09 vintage tames the natural austerity of the terroir."

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.
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.
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.
