"The nose is deep, pure and very vibrant, as it jumps from the glass in a blend of black cherries, dark berries, complex soil tones, woodsmoke, fresh herbs and a touch of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very long, with great focus and balance, ripe, suave tannins and great bounce from sound acids on the long and intensely flavored finish. The backend of this wine is stunning, as it really takes off from the mid-palate back. Great juice."

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.
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.
