". . . the 2009 Narbantons is pure, ripe and beautifully balanced, with no signs of overripeness on either the nose or palate. The bouquet offers up a fine mix of black cherries, dark chocolate, currants, woodsmoke, raw cocoa and excellent minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and absolutely classic in style, with a rock solid core of fruit, ripe tannins and lovely acidity adding bounce and precision on the long and focused finish."

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.
