"The 2009 Les Cras from Christophe Roumier is really stunning, as it soars from the glass in a vibrant mélange of sappy red and black cherries, raw cocoa, woodsmoke, gamebirds, a bit of mustard seed, complex soil tones and violets. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a lovely plushness to the attack, a great core of fruit, very refined, suave tannins, bright acids and impeccable balance on the very, very long and seamless finish. A beautiful vintage of Les Cras."

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 the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
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.
