Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 11 Jan 13
Ripe and fragrant. Rich, dense, noticeable oak just now but the fruit can take it. Firm, dry tannins. Perhaps not typically 2011, with more power than many grands crus tasted this week in London. (JH)

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.
