Discreet but noticeable wood does not interfere with the clear expressiveness of the very fresh menthol, earth and red berry liqueur-like nose that gives way to rich, concentrated and overtly powerful full-bodied flavors that possess excellent size and weight while culminating in an explosive finish that is not quite as complex but actually more persistent.

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.
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.
