"From 70+ year old vines. An expressive nose of almost exclusively black and blue fruits and an array of spices that suggest Vosne more than a fine Nuits yet the Nuits character of pungent earth and a distinct animale component is on parade on the mouth coating, textured and sweet big-boned flavors, underpinned by firm tannins that are tamed by the serious dry extract levels that drench the palate on the serious but delicious finish. This is already starting to close up but in time this should be a lovely combination of power and elegance."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
