"Les St. Georges is simply the most inherently complex cru in the village, and in a vintage like 2009, the Chevillons have produced and absolutely legendary example of this great vineyard. The bouquet is deep, stunningly complex and still very youthful in its mélange of red and black cherries, blood orange, nutskins, kaleidoscopic minerality, coffee bean, bitter chocolate, hints of gamebird and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and flawless, with a sappy core of fruit, stunning transparency, ripe tannins and a very, very long, soil-driven and youthful finish. A great, great wine in the making."

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.
