"From a 2 ha parcel at the bottom section of the vineyard; even so, the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use. A deft touch of pain grillé showcases more elegant and more refined green fruit and shell fish nuances that can also be found on the nervous, intense, focused and seriously powerful medium full flavors that ooze dry extract on the almost painfully punchy and relatively austere finish. However, there is so much buffering fat that this remains beautifully well balanced and should age very well plus the underlying sense of tension is most attractive as it gives real lift to the finish."

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 steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
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.
