"Pear, spring flowers, smoke, clove and mint on the nose. Beautifully delineated and pure in the mouth, with firm mineral spine contributing to the impression of precision. Not quite as rich as the 2000, but sweeter on the back than the '99 Batard. Perhaps still a bit stunted by the bottling, but built for slow evolution."

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.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
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.
