"A blend of one-third Mazoyères and two-thirds Charmes proper - the fruit comes from a mix of mostly 20 year old, and a small percentage of extremely old, vines. An extremely ripe yet remarkably nuanced and highly complex nose features earthy and spicy fresh red pinot fruit, dried rose petal and violet notes that dissolve into rich, full and sweet broad-scaled flavors possessing serious amounts of dry extract on the palate drenching and hugely long finish imbued with bitter chocolate hints. For such a big wine this is beautifully well-balanced and possesses simply fabulous raw materials. A stunner of a wine that has everything it needs for 30 plus years of life."

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.
