"The 2005 Clos is a brilliant wine, that is made primarily from sixty year-old vines. The bouquet is deep, complex and pure (though still quite primary), as it offers up notes of grapefruit, green apple, bread fruit, flint and wet stones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and racy, with a powerful expression of minerality, great cut and raciness, and great grip on the long, complex and palate-staining finish. A terrific bottle of Chablis in the making, with the raciness of a 2004, rather than the more gently structured profile of many 2005s."

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.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
