"A brooding and very reserved yet impressively elegant and refined nose featuring very fresh notes of red, blue and violet aromas introduces big-boned, rich and distinctly robust and sleekly muscled flavors that do a slow build from the mid-palate to an explosive finish. This has huge underlying reserves and while this is very firmly structured, the tannic spine is well buffered. I very much like this as it's fashioned in a classic Bonnes Mares vin de garde style..."

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.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
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.
