"Slightly deeper yellow than the Macon-Pierreclos. Ripe, carnal aromas of apricot, buttery pastry dough, nut oil and honey. Huge, silky and mouthfilling, with superb sweetness of apricotty fruit leavened by sound acidity. Maintains plenty of freshness on the palate-staining finish. Guffens told me he only removed leaves two weeks before the harvest, and the partial shading of the fruit allowed for good retention of natural acidity. These two wines were bottled without fining or filtration, except for the last few liters of each barrel."

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.
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.
