Tasting Notes

92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 11
Medium red. Musky, slightly candied aromas of red berry syrup, iron and smoke. Silky, suave, lush and primary but not a particularly sweet style. A round and pliant wine with a firm spicy, herbal back end. I like the use of stems here.

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.
