"80% from Charmes proper with the balance from Mazoyères. A subtly toasty yet elegant nose featuring a pretty mélange of earthy red cherry and blackberry fruit aromas lead to sweet, serious and concentrated full-bodied flavors that are underpinned by ripe tannins and a strikingly long finish that is both fresh and beautifully detailed. The wood has already been absorbed on the palate and there is a seductive sweetness to the finish. Terrific."

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.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long 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.
