Tasting Notes

90-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 07
Good full red-ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and spice. Dense, concentrated black fruit flavors are currently a bit clenched and forbidding. In a distinctly masculine, somewhat chunky style, finishing with solid tannins. Less sharply delineated than the premier crus from Vosne-Romanee but plenty fresh. Evolving slowly.

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.
