"Visible but reasonably well-integrated wood sets off cool and airy red berry fruit aromas that carry both earth and sauvage undertones, both of which can also be found on the rich, full and precise yet overtly muscular and powerful flavors that culminate in a naturally sweet and driving finish where, like the Combe Aux Moines, there is noticeable wood influence. This should be excellent if allowed to have 10 to 12 years of cellar time first. I would again note that there is ample oak influence at present and thus this would not be a particularly good choice to drink young."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
