(13.8% alcohol) Superripe aromas of stone fruits, apple and crushed rocks, complicated by flowers and minerals. Fat, rich and dry, with the inner-mouth aromatic quality and flavor depth missing in the examples from the Cote de Beaune. But then there was no hydric stress here, Guffens emphasizes. Rather powerful flavors of nectarine and minerals are framed by excellent acidity. Finishes very rich and long.

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.
