"Momentous, almost statesmanlike vintage. At that time there were grapes from the non-grafted vines from Aÿ and Bouzy in the vintage wine, something that is actually quite noticeable. The wine expresses Aÿ Pinot at its very best. In the glass, orange color and gamy, vegetable, and toasty aromas hit you. The nose actually resembles a mature La Tâche from D. R. C. The attack is enormous, despite the wine's meaty structure and rich fruit. The aftertaste accelerates in the mouth and it takes a long, long while before one is left with just the popcorn aroma lingering on the palate. It should be said that few bottles are this good."

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.
The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
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.
A key Champagne grape lending fruitiness, roundness and approachability to blends alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
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.
