Bricked through. A fascinating and ever changing caramel, sous bois, brown sugar, spice and tea leaf infused nose of truly marvelous depth and breadth complements the floral, sweet, pure and refined flavors that reflect the softness of the '53 vintage, all wrapped in a velvety and utterly seductive finish. This is a study in grace and purity of expression and unlike many '53s, this retains just enough firmness that the finish remains detailed and defined. A great effort that continues to drink well.

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.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
