"Coming from the Les Bussieres vineyard on the Morey-St.-Denis line, Raphet’s 2005 Chambolle-Musigny offers an alluring nose of high-toned red fruits and iris. Silky in texture and insistently bright, a mouthful of seedy pomegranate and red raspberry tinged with fennel and orange rind leads to a luscious finish of fresh fruit underlain by subtle suggestions of roasted meats, wet stones and fruit pits. This wine became richer in texture and grew in the glass after an hour, with sweet cherry suggestions and subtle hints of caramel emerging . . . . Jean Raphet officially retired and passed on his domain to his son Gerard with the 2002 vintage, but the latter has been responsible for the vineyards for many years. I last tasted through this cellar a year ago when the 2005s had not been through malo, and was only able to re-taste the following small subset from bottle, which however includes what I have found to be Raphet’s three consistently best appellations."

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.
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.
