"The â05 offers up a very flamboyant nose of black raspberries, plums, chocolate, woodsmoke, a discreet base of soil and plenty of toasty oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and sappy, with plenty of ripe tannins, excellent acidity and a very long, fruit-driven and powerful finish. This is a very well-balanced and explosive bottle of Pommard, and while I personally gravitate more to the more classic style of the 2007, this is a very well-made wine."

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.
