"An exotic, ripe and expressive nose of spiced apple, orange, tangerine and a compote of peach aromas gives way to phenomenally rich, powerful and almost painfully intense large-scaled flavors that possess seemingly endless reserves of palate staining dry extract. The minerality is overtly pungent and the mouth feel is very much akin to rolling rocks around in your mouth while waiting for the explosively long finish . . . . this bold and highly dramatic effort is impressive as hell."

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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
