"Tasted at the Roumier dinner at The Ledbury. Finally, a bottle that is not premixed! The ’96 has a lucid silvery hue with green tints. Bridled with a lovely, crisp, stony nose with hints of green lemon, dandelion soup, Clementine and umeboshi, the bouquet segues into a beautifully poised palate that is generous and delineated. Touches of lemon curd and almond sprinkled over the finish that has a spring in its step. Perfect now, but it should keep . . . . Tasted May 2010."

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 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.
