"The 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru delivers everything you really want from this Grand Cru in all but name. The nose has undoubtedly opened up a little since I tasted a ferociously backward bottle in Hong Kong, yet there is some way to go. Tightly-coiled red fruit, dark cherry, pressed rose petal and clove. The palate is the old iron fist in a velvet glove. It is beautifully defined by its filigree tannins, effortless and harmonious, with a gentle crescendo towards a finish that seems to envelop the senses. You will be smitten by its charms. Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant."

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.
