"25% whole cluster fermentation aged in 100% new wood; Boillot said the fruit wasn't picked until October. A fascinating combination of very ripe yet very fresh fruit that runs to raspberry liqueur aromas dovetailing nicely into the exceptionally rich, full and robust flavors that are very firmly structured yet the mid-palate sap is such that the tannins appear buried on the dusty and moderately austere finish. This is an extremely ripe wine yet it remains harmonious and balanced. Impressive."

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.
