98 WSM "The deep color captures the vitality and intensity of this wine. Swirl it in the glass and the aroma is completely intoxicating, a rich tapestry of black raspberry, wild blueberry and a resonant soil character. More than the preservation of perfectly ripe summer fruits, this has the energy of a beehive, the scent of honey from roses, of pollen and the darker, meatier tones of Chambolle's black silk tannins. The flavors reverberate with a low, earthy rumble then blast off, the wine's personality bigger than any glass, seemingly beyond any taster's ability to fathom."

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.
Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru straddling Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing powerful, dense yet perfumed Pinot Noir reds that combine muscle with finesse and reward long cellaring.
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.
