"From a choice section of 65-year-old vines above Prémeaux-Prissey acquired through his in-laws, Dureuil’s 2005 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières displays aromas raw of raw beef liver that approaches Cornas-like intensity and vivid bloodiness, along with intensely ripe black cherry, wood smoke, and distinctly wet stone minerality. A similar fruit-animal-mineral trio – augmented by pungent brown spices – dominates this wine’s intensely rich and sappy but firmly structured, dense palate, and these flavors cling with memorable tenacity . . . . Come to think of it, at this end of Dureil’s list, too, you get excellent value."

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.
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.
