"Excellent red-ruby color. Blacker fruit flavors of cassis, blackberry, flowers and wheat. Less volume on entry, but denser and more musclebound. Very concentrated. The cassis flavor is vibrant and primary. Distinctly harder than the '96. Strong underlying backbone and rather pronounced tannins will require at least six or seven years of bottle aging."

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.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
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.
