"The 2005 Vosne-Romanée AC continues the strong run of vintages of this village wine, which is now one of the best (if not the flat out finest) examples in Vosne. The bouquet on the 2005 is deep, pure and outstanding for a village wine, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of violets, plums, black raspberries, cocoa, lovely minerality and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full (and quite big for this particular cuvée chez Mugneret), tangy and beautifully focused, with a lovely kernel of fruit at the core, fine intensity of flavor, velvety tannins and a very long finish of outstanding grip. This is yet another dynamite bottle of village wine in 2005. Make sure to buy all the way down the line in this vintage!"

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.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
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.
