"Tasted at Christiesâ/Linden Wilkieâs 1971 dinner. This bottle is far superior to the one tasted a couple of years ago. It has a truly spellbinding bouquet that is just pure, unadulterated Pinot Noir. Hints of light red cherry, orange essence and rose petals, heavenly delineation and lift. The palate has just a hint of honey on the entry and then fans out beautifully across the tongue, seducing the senses with its iron-tinged, crisp red fruit. Just the poise coupled with intensity here, that only a great Burgundy can achieve. Long and languid towards the finish that really do not want to end. Tasted April 2011."

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.
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.
