"While not completely surprising given the superb track record this wine possesses, it offers the most elegant nose of all the 1ers with its airy mix of spicy and mineral-infused floral, citrus and green fruit aromas that merge into stony, pure and racy flavors that are refined, harmonious and hugely long. This is completely different from the La Romanée but at this level, it's more a question of the intrinsic character of the underlying terroir than actual quality. A choice but a high-class choice it is."

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.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
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.
