"A beauty. The firm structure is initially wrapped in a lush cashmere of black cherry, only to appear as this red navigates the palate to its conclusion. The lasting impression is sweet fruit and spice. Be patient, all the goods are there. This is just a touch softer than the Chambertin . . . . [Only] 85 cases made."

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.
