"Still quite deeply colored. A positively gorgeous nose is still fresh and largely if not completely primary with its beautifully layered mix of spice, floral and dark pinot fruit. There is fine density, and particularly so for the vintage, to the still firm and focused flavors that possess the classic muscularity of a fine GE, all wrapped in a powerful and wonderfully persistent finish. This notably rich effort could easily be enjoyed now though it is still a few years away from its apogee. In a word, terrific!"

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.
