"The magnificent nose is positively kaleidoscopic with a breathtaking array of spice, tea and seductive black and blue pinot fruit aromas that absolutely display the brilliance of a great RSV. The rich, full-bodied and powerful yet silky flavors are wonderfully refined and extremely concentrated though with absolutely no sense of heaviness or surmaturité on the unbelievably long finish that seems to go on without end. This is another one of those 'wow' wines that you can only shake your head in amazement at the power it delivers without weight. It's honestly hard to convey just how good this is but dazzling would be a good start."

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.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
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.
