Burgundy International - Red
About the SessionSession 3 is devoted to red Burgundy, drawing together some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Grower estates such as Armand Rousseau, Denis Mortet, Denis Bachelet, Georges Lignier and Ghislaine Barthod anchor a run of grand and premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée, while a extraordinary group of lots from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, including Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, forms the session's centrepiece. Rounded out by classic bottlings from Volnay, Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, plus a scattering of Beaujolais crus, this session offers exceptional depth for Pinot Noir collectors.

Critics Ratings
"The 2018 Santenay Village includes 50% whole cluster and is raised in 10% new oak. It has a delicate floral bouquet with scents of pressed rose petals filtering through the cranberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is plump on the entry, very harmonious and already approachable. I appreciate the subtle pepperiness imparted by the stems on the finish. Very fine." - Neal Martin, Vinous (Nov 2019)
"This is aromatically similar to the Clos Voyens but with the addition of a whiff of the sauvage. There is a bit more mid-palate concentration to the delicious and round flavors that flash hints of rusticity and a bit of acid tang on the sneaky long finish." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Apr 2020)
