An exceptionally fresh, cool and restrained nose of beautiful red berry fruit and stone hints trimmed in subtle touches of wood and a panoply of spice nuances introduces absolutely lovely, classy and pure moderately sized flavors that are built on a base of minerality, all wrapped in a vibrant and firmly structured and hugely long finish where there is an almost palpable sense of the underlying tension and energy. I really like the manner in which a beautifully textured and focused wine delivers its power without undue weight. In sum, a 'wow' wine.

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.
