2005 BOUCHARD

"As the scores and comments suggest, the Bouchard
'05s are flat out stupendous wines and absolutely deserve a place in
your cellars."

-Burghound-

Clos Vougeot Burghound 93-96 Points $164.99

005 Clos de Vougeot: (from 2 similarly sized parcels 1 at the top and the other at the bottom of the slope.) Note that I was shown two versions of this wine, one from the Domaine fruit and another that was purchased. Prost indicated that there might be two wines released or they might be blended. The wine reviewed here is from Domaine fruit and was significantly better than the purchased example. A ripe, reserved and cool nose of flat out gorgeous complexity leads to beautifully delineated, powerful and robust flavors that somehow manage to remain understated on the hugely long and spicy finish. This has the wow factor in spades and is a strong candidate for the Clos de Vougeot of the vintage (along with the Leroy and Dr. George Mugneret versions). (93-96)/2020+

Volnay Taillepieds- Burghound 92 Points $63.99

2005 Volnay Taillepieds: This too is relatively toasty and very ripe, indeed to the point of where there are notes of deep plum, mocha, black berry and subtle spice hints that lead intensely mineral and highly complex and nuanced flavors that benefit from a distinct sense of lift and detail because the almost pungent minerality of the firmly structured and hugely long finish. This isnt really my style but there is no doubting the underlying quality of the raw material. 92/2013+

Nuits-St-Georges Les Porrets Burghound 89-92 Points $55.99

2005 Nuits St.-Georges Les Porrets: A mildly toasty nose features notes of earth, game and red and dark berry fruit that precede the rich, full and fleshy flavors that possess a beguiling and admirable concentration on the punchy, firmly structured and nicely complex finish. (89-92)/2015+

Beaune du Chateau 1er Cru- Burghound 89 Points $35.99

2005 Beaune du Chateau 1er: (a blend of different 1ers, each of which was vinified separately separately; the first vintage for this wine was in 1907). The fruit character is slightly riper with relatively moderate oak influence that serves to highlight the red berry fruit and delicious but serious flavors that are clearly fashioned in a more forward and accessible style. 89/2010+
