"An intensely earthy yet quite pretty nose features a beautifully complex and unusually fresh red pinot and dark berry fruit mix that is set off by a discreet application of wood. The rich, powerful and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors possess an abundance of tannin-buffering extract that confers a seductive texture to the mid-palate yet the finish displays the hallmark austerity of a young Clos de Vougeot. Sensational quality here and this should prove to be one of the great vintages for this storied wine."

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.
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.
