A fresh, pure and unusually elegant nose that is surprisingly high-toned features moderate amounts of earth on the otherwise largely red berry fruit aromas that are in keeping with the moderately earthy, rich and robust flavors blessed with copious amounts of extract that pushes the ever-so-slightly rustic tannins to the background on the long and impressively deep finish. Excellent quality.

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 Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
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.
