"The 2009 Les Clos was also barrel-fermented in older barrels and it, too, has picked up just a trace of vanilla from the older wood. The bouquet is deep and flat out beautiful, as it offers up a complex blend of apple, lemon, complex limestone minerality, spring flowers, a touch of wet stone and the aforementioned vanilla. On the palate the wine is deep, complex and quite full-bodied, with a lovely core of pure, ripe fruit, a great spine of minerality, bright acids and stunning length and grip on the classy finish. A serious bottle of Les Clos."

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.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
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.
