"This is one of the most expressive and flattering wines to taste in the cellars at the present time, as the wine jumps from the glass in a perfumed blend of cherries, plums, dusty rose, cocoa powder, orange rind and a lovely base of soil. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and velvety on the attack, but with the racking bringing the tannins out a bit on the long finish. The core of this wine is quite pure and sweet, and I have no doubt that the bit of uncovered tannin at present on the backend is simply a function of the racking. This will be an excellent wine."

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.
