"The Bertheau 2005 Bonnes Mares displays incense and smoke on the nose, along with herbal concentrate and bitter-sweet black raspberry and cassis. A savage raw berry intensity takes over on the palate, over which a load of salt, chalk, and finely-grained tannin are subsequently spread. This finishes with smoky, smoldering intensity along with moss, peat, and a decidedly bitter side of black fruits and herbs. I’m prepared to believe it might be suffering slightly from its recent bottling and capable of more charming generosity at some point in the next few weeks."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
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.
