Wine Information

Vintage 2005 / Following a rainy April, May began with hot weather, causing record vine growth.

Summer was marked by alternating hot spells and cool, cloudy periods, though the weather remained dry.
Flowering started early but was interrupted by cool spells, causing coulure and millerandage (poor and uneven/incomplete fruit set) with the Chardonnay grapes.
A hailstorm on 17 July affected the Chassagne vineyard and the south of Puligny.
Fortunately, the good weather that followed remedied the damage, so that the grapes remained healthy. This storm spared most of the Domaine's parcels. 

The harvest took place from 15 to 24 September under excellent weather conditions.
The first vines harvested were those hit by hail on 20 July (Bourgogne and Village appellations). From 17 September on there was a north wind, dry weather, stable conditions and lots of sunshine.
The grapes benefited from this unexpected good fortune, bumping up sugar levels (13°6 on average).

The sugar/acidity balances were perfect.

The Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet grands crus were harvested on the afternoon of Tuesday 20 September and on the Wednesday, fruit days (passage of the moon across the constellation of Aries), meaning a very beneficial moment for fruit work.

Good quantity
Excellent grape maturity quality
Very good sugar/acidity ratios (no chaptalisation)
Harvest balanced and healthy, the first signs of a great vintage in white wines.

They can be enjoyed, at the earliest, as follow:
-Bourgogne Blanc from 2007
-Puligny-Montrachet from 2008
-The Premiers Crus from 2009
-The Grands Crus from 2010
-Montrachet from 2015

Vintage 2005

2005 VINTAGE in Burgundy / Hopes made way for certainty.

2005 promises to produce outstanding whites, with elegance and opulence beyond the norm, and superb, seductive and well-structured red wines.

The richness of these wines perfectly expresses the diversity of the region. A wine of excellent quality is achieved above all through the ripeness and healthiness of the grapes. For this reason, thanks to the almost ideal climatic conditions, 2005 will an exceptional year. At the point of harvest, the chardonnay and pinot noir grapes (the two principal grape varieties in Burgundy) were magnificent and luscious. The chardonnay produced resplendent golden grapes, bursting with sugar and the pinot noir produced densely packed grapes of an intense colour, characteristic of all great vintages. Due to low rainfall and weak northerly winds, the grapes remained in a remarkable state and did not require any sorting.

Under a radiant sun, the harvest passed by peacefully, giving the wine-growers the opportunity to assess the optimal maturity in relation to the grape varieties and parcels. The sugar content in the grapes reached above satisfactory levels, in some cases close to outstanding, which is a good indication of maturity, and promises a good balance between the acidity and sugar levels found in the wines 

The red grapes' thick skin stored up large quantities of polyphenol (colour and tannin), a demonstration of their healthiness. Vinification took place in ideal circumstances. 

Mid-november 

The white wines, although still fermenting, already reveal an extraordinary richness and aromatic complexity with great finesse (notes of pear and peach with a hint of ripe grapefruits). On the palate, the wines are incredibly ample. The chewiness and acidity are in perfect harmony and enhance the elegance and freshness of the chardonnay.

The red wines possess deep and intense garnet-coloured robes. They exude intense aromas of fruit (blueberry, blackcurrants, cherries, wild strawberries) and variety of spices (pepper). On the palate, the fruit blends with the rounded elegance of the tannins and the light acidity, which all come together to ensure the length of the wine. The powerful and elegant structure of these wines is a sign of their good ageing potential. For the domaines, cooperatives and maisons of Burgundy, 2005 is without a doubt a vintage of exceptional quality which promises wonderful surprises for the consumer.
