" While notably ripe the nose retains admirable freshness and plenty of Chablis character with floral, citrus, iodine, seaweed and oyster shell hints. In much the same vein, there is a saline character to the round, rich and succulent medium-bodied flavors that possess good verve and solid power on the detailed, balanced and impressively persistent finish. This is a really lovely wine that is at once very '05 yet is refreshing, vibrant and utterly delicious plus the abundant dry extract really coats on the mouth."

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.
