Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 09
Deep, bright red. Black raspberry, game and smoke on the nose. Fat and sweet on entry, then quite dry and backward in the middle, with a distinctly medicinal quality currently dominating the wine's underlying fruit. This boasts impressive volume but I'm troubled by its rather dry-edged tannins. Hard to taste today. I note that a year ago Eric Rousseau pointed out that the wine began its life quite disjointed.

Burgundy

Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the world's top wine regions, famed for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its unique terroir, with varied soils and microclimates, defines its wines. Key subregions include Côte d'Or (with Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune), Chablis, and Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, offering great value. Burgundy wines are categorised by Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Village levels. Top producers like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive, and Domaine Armand Rousseau exemplify Burgundy's commitment to quality and tradition.
