"From a 0.25 ha parcel situated in Aloxe that is on the Ladoix border, aged in 65% new wood. By contrast to the Bourgogne, this is wonderfully fresh, airy and bright with citrus and green apple aromas trimmed in a bit of wood spice that complement perfectly the big, rich and gorgeously intense full-bodied flavors that seem to be extracted directly from liquid rock, all wrapped in a palate staining and explosively long finish . . . . the flavor authority and purity of expression are flat out terrific. One to buy. Note that this will require some time because it is quite austere and backward at present."

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.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term 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.
