"Full red. Musky aromas of briary dark fruits, cherry skin, graphite and chocolatey oak; less fruity than the Charmes. Sappy, rich and deep, with a chewy impression of extract to the cherry and mineral flavors. This is fruitier in the mouth than the nose suggests-and with more energy too. Despite its finishing lift, this is still youthfully imploded but its firmly tannic, edge-free finish suggests it will reward extended aging."

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.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
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.
