"Fashioned with 20% whole clusters. A pretty and quite densely fruited nose speaks of mostly red berry fruit, spice and warm earth notes that marry into equally earthy, rich and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mouth feel on the seriously complex and wonderfully persistent finish. This is quite fine and I especially like the balance of the naturally sweet backend."

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.
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.
