"Dried fruits, hazelnut and toasty oak on the nose, plus a whiff of caramelized banana. Powerful and tightly wound, with surprising acidity enlivening the flavors of peach, citrus peel, spices and minerals. This has terrific cut and persistence but will need a good six or seven years of cellaring. Martin Prieur compares this to the 2002 Combettes in aging potential and notes that this cuvee, from a large holding of 1.49 hectares, is becoming the estate's calling card."

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.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
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.
