"As I have advanced before, there is a very real argument to be made that Ruchots is the best 1er in Morey and this example will only add credibility to that notion. A gorgeously complex nose of spicy dark berry fruit aromas that also display a note of violets complements the fresh, intense, pure and solidly concentrated flavors that are seemingly formed from extract of ripe pinot fruit. This is seductive, pure, harmonious and deep with outstanding underlying material and superb length and knocks on the door of grand cru quality."

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.
