"As pretty as the Clos de Vougeot is aromatically, this is a step up and it's also somewhat surprising as to how expressive and airy the nose is here as well with stylish and very pure red berry, earth and wonderfully sexy spice notes that also add an understated complexity to the big, robust and tautly structured and well-muscled flavors oozing with mid-palate sap that at present completely buffers the dusty tannic spine that should enable this to age gracefully for at least a decade, perhaps longer. The best wine in the range."

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.
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.
