Tasting Notes

90-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 12
(13.8% alcohol): Good pale yellow. Deeply pitched aromas of apricot, musky truffle and smoky oak. Fat and sweet following the Cabottes--in fact downright exotic. Seems to be passing through an oxidative phase of its elevage and a bit flat today. Very ripe and creamy in the mouth, but a tad phenolic on the back end. My range should be viewed as strictly provisional.

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.
