"The 2013 Clos des Bouchères chez Roulot is also excellent, with all of the elegance of the vintage very much in evidence in its suave and quite wide open bouquet. The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, white flowers, almonds, orange zest and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is quite a bit more reserved than the nose suggests, with its full-bodied format offering lovely fruit on the attack, a fine signature of soil, bright acids, excellent focus and grip and a long, pure and classy finish. From the mid-palate back, this wine is still quite bound up in its fine structural elements and it will really deserve at least a few years in the cellar to fully blossom and start to drink at its full potential. A lovely example of the vintage."

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.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
