"[Note: as of 2009, this is a Domaine wine; from a 0.55 ha parcel] The classic Mont de Milieu hints of exoticism are present in the form of dried peach and apricot along with green fruit and sea breeze nuances. There is excellent volume and impressive richness to the suave and seductively textured flavors that brim with dry extract before terminating in a focused, long and strikingly powerful finish. I quite like this plus it should age to good effect."

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.
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.
