"Ghislaine Barthod has made one of the most magical bottles of her entire career with her 2009 les Cras. The bouquet is deep, pure and beautifully reserved, as it offers up a very pure mélange of red and black cherries, blood orange, raw cocoa, both violets and roses, a touch of vanillin oak and a gloriously complex base of minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, very pure and flat out stunning, with a great core of sappy fruit, ripe, suave tannins, sound acids and great length and grip on the utterly compelling finish. A great young bottle of les Cras."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
