This is wonderfully elegant with its very fresh, cool and densely fruited aromas of red currant and plum that give way to firm and almost aggressively mineral-infused flavors brimming with dry extract on the seductively textured but well-structured finish that coats the palate. A classic Baudes that is elegant but youthfully austere and tautly muscled. Moderate patience required as this will need at least a decade of cellar time.

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.
