"Vibrant, precise aromas of lemon, powdered stone, vanilla and cinnamon. Offers wonderful depth and sweetness of flavor; despite its powerful flavors of liquid stone and lemon, this is smooth, even a bit glyceral, in the middle palate. But also precise and crystalline for the vintage in spite of the significant percentage of rotten grapes; little sign of surmaturite These two grand crus are actually easier to taste today than Dauvissat's very tight premier crus because they're riper and more unctuous. Finishes with superb persistence. I'd wait seven or eight years on this one. Some of these 2001s may yet merit higher scores."

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.
