"Very pale gold color. Soil-inflected aromas of apple, spices, peat and smoky, resiny oak. Urgent and primary in the mouth, with terrific violety lift to the highly concentrated stone and iodine flavors. This boasts an almost solid impression of extract and a metallic suggestion of coiled energy, and yet there's also a deep sweetness here that speaks of the vintage. Finishes with superb thrust and power. Faiveley's Corton-Charlemagne is always difficult to taste early on, but this bottle suggests that the '05 will rank as one of the outstanding recent vintages for this cuvee."

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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
