"From my favorite Burgundy vintage of the last fifteen years (though there are a few others I like almost as much), the 2005 Charmes-Chambertin from Dominique Laurent is everything this great wine ought to be (a small amount of the grapes used come from old vines in MazoyĂšres). The wine boasts a lovely red cherry and red berry quality enhanced by a strong mineral underpinning that adds complexity and nuance. Yes, even after thirteen years and counting, Laurentâs penchant for oak is still on display, but the magic of this site and the 2005 vintage have combined to give a wine with enough sultry flesh and roundness to make Rubens proud."

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.
