"Bouchard has been separately vinifying this parcel, which at one time was part of Montrachet, since 1992, though the first commercial release was not until 1997. As it usually it, this is a clear step up in virtually every facet with another dimension of aromatic elegance and complexity to the very ripe and slightly exotic pain grillĂŠ-infused nose. This is borderline painfully intense, refined, focused and pure with its big, rich and sweet flavors that despite all the punch, remains in absolutely perfect balance as the density of the mid-palate buffers completely the firm acid spine. This will live for years and is one of the wines of the vintage. Highly recommended."

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.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
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.
