"Among the Premiers Crus in Beaune - the specialty of this house - there is a rich, full, expansively flavored, deep Beaune Les Bressandes. I would give this wine . . . years in the cellar before drinking it. For example, the 1979s from this domaine are just beginning to drink beautifully, when many other producers' wines are starting to fall apart. The same can be said for the 1972s from Madam Choppin. Her wines from that vintage took nearly 15 years to reach maturity. This is a serious estate making very traditional, old-style red burgundies that merit more attention."

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.
