"A touch of raspberry leaf, autumn leaves and a very slight hint of wild mint, although with time in glass it begins to coalesce and offer mulberry/briary scents. The palate is medium-bodied, quite earthy on the entry, rather conservative overall: this is a Pinot that does not desire too much attention. Once again there are notes of mulberry, a little pepper, nice persistency . . . . there is still something quite entrancing about it . . ."

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.
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.
