"[From a parcel of vines that is close to Vaudésir and extends all the way from Grenouilles to the tree line at the top of the hill.] Brioche and hints of wood spice add a bit of nuance to the brilliantly elegant cool green fruit nose that positively radiates classic Chablis character, particularly oyster shell and iodine that leads to taut, detailed and ultra pure medium full flavors that are textured, concentrated and almost painfully intense. This is one hugely long wine and while the finish is presently austere, this should mature into a real beauty."

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.
