A subtly complex nose of red and black pinot fruit aromas that offers a bit better ripeness than the foregoing wines and leads to earthy, round, rich and sweet flavors that possess good freshness and plenty of punch. This is really quite a nice villages.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 1st Quarter, 2006International Wine Cellar | Rating: 89
Medium red. Briary red fruits, iron and earth on the nose. Juicy and spicy, with good density and intensity of black cherry and herbal flavors. This has good cut. There was a lot of hail here, but the Magniens eliminated the dried grapes.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2006Wine Spectator | Rating: 79
On the animal side, but also full of sweet, ripe cherry- and earth-tinged flavors. Relatively soft, with drying tannins emerging on the finish. Best from 2008 through 2012. 400 cases made. -BSAuthor: Bruce Sanderson

Burgundy is home to some of the greatest and most expensive wines in the world. Stretching from Auxerre in the north to Lyon in the south, the region's most famous section is the limestone-rich Côte d'Or. Vineyards in Burgundy are classified according to their locations on the hillsides. Only 2% of total production is from grand cru sites, while premier cru and village-level wines are more common. It is rare for one domaine to own an entire vineyard; rather the land has been divided down to individual rows, in some cases as a result of inheritance laws. While other varieties can be found in Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme. The best examples are capable of aging for 15 years or more, a rarity for these two varieties, making them highly valuable.
