"The 2015 vintage will again feature a Cuvée Centenaire bottling of Clos St. Jacques from Jean-Marie Fourrier, as two casks will be bottled on their own. This was happily a bit more recovered than the regular bottling, as it wafts from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, grilled meats, cocoa, musky floral tones, a great base of minerality, and a topnote of spices. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and impressively pure, with a rock solid core, fine-grained tannins and excellent length and grip on the long and complex finish. This is likely to be stunning."

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.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
