"This is both more elegant and slightly fresher still with a fantastically complex nose of red berry fruit, stone, earth and plum liqueur aromas serving as a striking introduction to the detailed, powerful, intense and mouth coating flavors that culminate in a balanced, focused and hugely long finish that delivers the same remarkable depth as the nose. As one would reasonably expect, this is not as big and robust as the Clos du Roi but it's finer and even as big as it is, this is essentially a wine of refinement. In a word, marvelous."

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.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
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.
