"From deep, extremely hard soil that has plenty of what the Burgundians call tĂȘtes de moines, or large round stones that resemble a monk's head. Once again the moderate amounts of wood and menthol scents serve as the backdrop for the cool red cherry, violet and earth-scented nose. The sleek and tautly muscular flavors are also quite serious and although the supporting tannins are dense, they're relatively fine and as such this manages to avoid being unduly rustic and youthfully austere on the sneaky long finish. This is really very good and worth considering though once again I underscore that at least some patience will be highly beneficial."

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.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
