A drop dead gorgeous nose of wood and natural spice aromas, black and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by hints of violets and floral tones leads to seductive, sweet and mouth coating medium full flavors that are textured, delicious and plumy, all supported by sève wrapped tannins that are rendered almost invisible on the hugely long finish. A really beautiful effort that will age for decades.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
