Tasting Notes

92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 06
Deep ruby-red. Expressive aromas of blackberry liqueur, bitter chocolate and coffee; more open than the Corbeaux today. Then superripe in the mouth but a bit less forthcoming, with explosive, surprisingly primary flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate. Boasts a huge middle, especially for a Bachelet wine, but also more finesse than the Corbeaux. This reminded me a bit of a top pinot from the Sonoma Coast. Spreads out to coat the entire palate and mounts slowly and inexorably on the back. A very deep, black fruit-dominated Charmes that's quite fresh for the year. Lay this down for a few years or give it time in a decanter.

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.
