"This is decidedly tighter and more reserved aromatically but also slightly riper as Les Veleys almost always achieves a high degree of phenolic maturity with a mix of red, blue and black berry aromas that introduce earthy, concentrated and full-bodied flavors that possess ample dry extract and outstanding length on the almost chewy but not rustic finish. This is impressive and in terms of the character of the wine, is the bookend to the Saumonts as the les Veleys is a well-muscled and robust wine whereas the Saumonts is a wine of finesse. A qualitative choice."

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.
