"Full medium ruby. High-toned scents of black cherry, licorice and resiny herbs. The high-toned quality carries through onto the palate, where the juicy dark berry flavors are a bit medicinal and lacking in real terroir character. Strong juice but it doesn't show the finesse of the preceding samples. I described this wine a year ago as New World in style; today it's a bit brooding and its slightly tough tannins call for extended aging. I should note that this wine was bottled two months later than the Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air."

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.
2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
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.
