Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 02
Deep red-ruby. Highly nuanced nose hints at cherry, minerals and smoke. Suave on entry, then silky and wonderfully sweet, but less showy today than the Clos Saint-Jacques. Seems rather youthfully unevolved on the back half, and dominated by its firm structure. But the wine density and subtle, building length suggests that it will eventually surpass the Clos Saint-Jacques.

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.
