"It had been a couple of years since I last tasted the 2005 Grande Vignolle from Domaine Filliatreau and the wine has now gone into a period of hibernation and will need to be forgotten in a corner of the cellar for a few years before it again starts to hit on all cylinders. The nose remains still a vibrant and beautiful mélange of sappy black cherries, dark berries, espresso, smoke, juniper berries, lovely soil tones and a topnote of fresh herbs. However, on the palate, the puppy fat of youth is now gone and the wine is rather imploded at the present time, with its full-bodied and fairly powerful profile now quite closed, with the fine core of fruit currently wrapped up in ripe tannins and tangy acids. The wine is still long, focused and exceptional, but I would leave any remaining bottles asleep in the cellar for another two or three years to let it emerge from its adolescent hibernation."

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.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
