"Lignier’s 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes exudes a red fruit, licorice, vanilla and sweet floral-scented perfume. The brightness, purity and sheer pizzaz of fresh fruit on the palate makes this an exception from the more somber, darkly-hued typicity of the vintage. An almost savage tart, pure berry impression confirms the proximity of this site to Bonnes-Mares. Speaking of “savage,” that’s how this wine clings with its bright fruit, salty-chalky minerality and bitter herbs. Think of this as Bonnes-Mares quality at half the price . . ."

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.
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.
