"Classic Clos de Vougeot in every respect as this is austere, backward, earthy and intense yet blessed with stunning power and incredible richness plus a finish that etches itself into the palate and lasts for minutes. This is quite ripe . . . yet the overall effect is one of brooding power and . . . it is every bit as complex [as the Richebourg] with remarkably refined tannins. In short, this is an incredibly powerful and rich wine that offers superb delineation."

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.
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.
