"An intensely floral nose exhibits a striking panoply of aromas that include anise, red berries, soy, plum and rose petals. There is stunning intensity and simply terrific delineation to the mineral-driven and quite powerful flavors that explode on the palate staining and massively long finish. This usually takes a backseat to the Leroy Beaux Monts but not in 2009. Indeed when I commented upon this to Mme Leroy she told me that it's possible that this is the best Brûlées that she has ever made and I would concur."

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.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
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.
