"From five tiny parcels with largely old vines scattered about the village, a Lecheneaut 2005 Chambolle-Musigny, intriguingly, offers a deeper color than their village Gevrey (which in turn was darker than the Morey). This wine, too, offers surprising amplitude and richness of fruit for the village level, but with both more creaminess of texture and a brighter edge of fresh black raspberry and cassis fruit, leading to a finish of considerable cut and refreshment. Exotic spices and hints of chocolate, orange zest, and aromatic woods stretch from the nose to the tail. Combined with deep, rich fresh-meatiness and sheer chalky substrate, they add up to a village performance of impressive complexity and polish . . ."

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.
