"The 2006 Vaudésir, as is the case with the other two Louis Michel grand crus, was waiting in tank for bottling some time soon after the holidays. It is a terrific wine in 2006, as it delivers a complex and beautiful aromatic mélange of apple, lime, pink grapefruit, flint and wet stones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and powerfully built, with great nascent complexity, excellent mid-palate depth and a very long, racy and soil-driven finish. Really a superb and intensely flavored wine, particularly on the backend."

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.
