2005 Burgundy: fruit, grace & elegance

“2005 is clearly an excellent vintage with more body and power than 2004…” –Jean-Marc Pillot

2005 JEAN-MARC PILLOT St. Romain Blanc “La Perriere” $38 ($32.30 cs price) “This is fresher and cooler with bright green fruit notes that can also be found on the racy, sweet and detailed flavors underpinned by a trace of minerality and an agreeably dry finish.” –Burghound

2005 JEAN-MARC PILLOT Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er “Les Vergers” $80 ($68) “This is a mild step up in elegance and finesse with finer and more detailed white and yellow orchard fruit aromas that complement perfectly the detailed, precise and subtly mineral flavors that possess an interesting contrast of succulence and intensity on the pure and driving finish. This is lovely stuff and I really like the balance here. 91 pts. Outstanding!” –Burghound

2005 JEAN-MARC PILLOT Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er “Les Macherelles” $49 ($41.65) “A more elegant and refined nose blends notes of black and blue pinot fruit, pepper and violet aromas that introduce detailed and attractively precise flavors that exude a fine if discreet sense of underlying minerality on the suave, complex and satisfying finish. A lovely effort with enough structure to reward 5 to 7 years of cellar time. 89 pts.” –Burghound
