"The bouquet is deep, beautiful and bottomless, as it offers up a sappy mélange of black cherries, plums, slightly roasted fruit elements as well, dark chocolate, fresh herbs, spice tones and a superb base of soil. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, sappy and closing down considerably for hibernation, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, ripe, but firm and substantial tannins, lovely acids, impeccable focus and superb length and grip on the still very primary, palate-staining finish. This will probably be one of the greatest vintages of Clos de la Bussière ever made under the Roumiers’ ownership, but it will need a fair bit of cellaring."

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.
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.
