"The 2005 Clos St. Jacques is, not surprisingly, the best of a very stellar lineup of Gevrey premier crus in the Fourrier cellars this year. The bouquet is deep and beautifully complex for such a young wine, as it offers up a mélange of black cherries, red plums, cocoa, grilled meats, blood orange, a strikingly complex base of soil nuance, woodsmoke, mustard seed, roses and perhaps a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and gloriously pure, with great mid-palate depth, impeccable balance, laser-like focus, fine-grained tannins, and haunting length and complexity on the transparent and intensely flavored finish. Brilliant."

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.
