Paired with the fourth course, Côtes de Bœuf, and this is a classic pairing. A finely structured N-S-G and perhaps a touch too young yet? Regardless, it was a fantastic compliment to the beef. I think time will coax more out of this one.

Rich, layered, with building complexity and great, brooding Burgundy flavors

Our third vintage at Fairchild. Not my favorite of them as a bit less fruity

Suis bois and spice on the nose, leading the way for anise-laden berry fruit on the palate with hints of cola and cedar. Delicious and aromatic.

2006 Premier Cru, Les Vaucrains. In the 2006 vintage, the vines were still young (maybe 15 years old). Clearly shows the strength of the site, but not the depth of older vines. Nice nose, with some mushroom and dark fruits. A bit of alcohol on the palate. As the wine evolved, lost some complexity but did get more red fruit; again a sign of the age of the vines. Threw some fine sediment.

Incredibly pale. Dried rose petals and red cherries. Some would say thin and tart. I say light and lively.
