"2005 was Jacky Truchot’s final vintage of a long and illustrious career. Since his official retirement and the sale of most of his Domaine’s vineyards, he has only continued to make a bit of Morey premier cru Sorbè for his own enjoyment, from a small plot of vines that he retained when he sold the rest of the estate. Sorbè lies next to his well-known bottling of Clos Sorbè, which was sold to David Duband along with the rest of his former estate vineyards. Jackie’s 2005 Clos Sorbè is excellent, but still youthful and moderately closed down, reluctantly offering up scents of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, gamebird, a lovely base of soil, woodsmoke, gentle spice tones and just a whisper of cedar. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and reserved today, with good depth at the core, tangy acids, ripe tannins and lovely length and grip on the promising finish. This needs at least another four or five years to stir, and as it is Jacky’s last official vintage, there is no sense in rushing to drink it."

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.
