"[30% whole clusters.] A very ripe, floral, refined and dazzlingly spicy black fruit nose introduces pure, detailed and almost aggressively mineral-infused flavors that possess a beautiful mouth feel while culminating in an explosive and overtly austere finish that borders on the painfully intense. This poised and harmonious effort will need every bit of 15 years to arrive at its full majority but it should be well worth the wait."

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.
Volnay is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with esteemed Premier Crus, producing elegant, perfumed and silky Pinot Noir reds prized for their finesse, delicacy and floral red-fruit character.
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.
