"From yields of 45 hl/ha, low for the vintage. It was frankly hard to believe that the '01 Les Clos could match the Preuses' elegance but indeed it does as this is big, expressive, wonderfully stylish and intense with huge, very powerful flavors that offer palate staining intensity and unusually good sève for the vintage plus minerality to burn. This is also one of the top wines of the vintage with length that lasts for minutes. A great wine by any measure."

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.
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.
