"Here the nose is quite ripe yet retains that beautiful aspect of 2005, which is that the ripeness is present without compromising the wonderful sense of freshness. A complex and earthy, even slightly animale nose of red, black and violet aromas merges into deep, powerful and expansive flavors that possess excellent power, balance and positively stunning length. A big but not inelegant wine built for the long haul."

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.
