"Along with the Clos de Bèze, this possesses by far and away the most aromatically complex nose in the range with a broad panoply of spice nuances along with floral notes, blue, black and violet aromas plus hints of smoke, game and underbrush, virtually all of which can also be found on the pure, elegant and fresh flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouth feel despite the imposing size, weight and power, all wrapped in a silky and mouth coating finish. Burgundies like this just make you shake your head as they're just sheer class and this will age effortlessly for decades to come."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
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.
