"Laurent’s 2005 Echezeaux Vieilles Vignes represents an amalgam of four barrels from four different growers – three representing what Laurent calls the “Jayer selection.” Suggesting almost confectionary aromas and flavors of chocolate-dipped raspberries, this opulent, rich, creamy-textured Pinot offers remarkable clarity, purity and refinement, with subtle up-welling of beef marrow, caramel, and fruit pit bitterness and with prominently salty mineral traces. This is richly-concentrated and persistent in a way that goes beyond most wines of the appellation."

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.
