"A classic Les Cailles as this is spicy, indeed almost seductive with an intense, nuanced and highly complex black fruit nose followed by classy and sophisticated flavors underpinned by dense but quite fine tannins and knock out length. This is a wine of contrasts as the flavors are generous yet the overall impression is one of cool reserve. The firm, slightly edgy structure is entirely buried at present and this will require patience before it reveals all of its considerable potential."

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.
