Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 02
Full medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of cherry, redcurrant, roast coffee, mocha and almond. Large-scaled, dense and sweet but bright and sharply delineated thanks to sound acidity and firm underlying tannic spine. This rather thick wine comes across as strong in extract and rather energetically extracted. Finishes very long and subtle, with a hint of roasted oak.

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.
