Sourced entirely from sites south and high above the village, the Bertheau 2005 Chambolle-Musigny contrasts scents and flavors of lightly-cooked cherry with those of high-toned distilled kirsch, tart red currant, and bitter-sweet citrus oil. Subtle hints of flowers and raw meat become more evident from the empty glass. Silken and smooth on the palate yet all the while displaying brightness and invigoration, this finishes like a tart cherry pie with youthfully yeasty and singed pastry nuances. Here is a poised, refined and refreshing young wine of amazing quality given its village-level classification. Reviewed by: David Schildknecht

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
