"The 2008 Vaudésir from the Drouhin family is really outstanding, as it offers up a stellar and quite classic nose of apple blossoms, lemon, grapefruit, complex, chalky soil tones and just a whisper of vanillin oak (despite the wine being raised all in older barrels). On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and beautifully complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, brisk acids, great focus and a very long and very refined finish. A beautiful bottle of Vaudésir."

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.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
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.
