"From sixty-some year-old vines in chalk and flint-rich soil, Germain’s 2005 Beaune Les Cras Vieilles Vignes more than lives up to the reputation established in the course of many vintages by its illustrious predecessors. A complex nose of black cherry, orange zest, black truffle, toasted walnuts and subtle flowers lead to a palate of fresh, spiced cherry, sedate underlying fresh meatiness and a fascinating finishing interplay of fruit, spice, piquant nuttiness, sweet florality, wet stone, salt, and indeed downright ineffable minerality."

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.
