"[from a .25 ha parcel planted in 1959] The barest hint of wood spice frames fantastically complex, pure and refined aromas of red berry, stone, underbrush, tea and a trace of the sauvage that continue onto the detailed, linear and mineral-infused flavors that are very firmly structured but there is more than sufficient buffering sap and much better overall balance than in the Epenots. Like a number of wines in the range, this is unapologetically built to age so be prepared to wait."

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.
Pommard is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with noted Premier Crus, producing dark, powerful and tannic Pinot Noir reds of firm structure and earthy depth built for aging.
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.
