"From 0.52 ha parcel. The aromatic profile here is slightly riper though also very fresh and airy featuring notes of red and black pinot fruit liberally laced with violet nuances that give way to earthy medium weight plus flavors that possess excellent mid-palate fat and enough structure to suggest up to a decade's worth of improvement. I quite like this and overall, it's an interim step between the purity of the Lavaut and the muscle and size and weight of the bigger grands crus."

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.
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.
