Harvest took place in the early days of September after a dry and very hot summer after a superb growing season - long and cold winter followed by a rainy and humid spring. Exceptional weather conditions for an exceptional vintage. Full maturation of the grapes and good concentration. Aging in oak casks during 13 months

Bright ruby colour with purple tinges. Intense aromas of cooked red berries (raspberry, cherry) and coffee toffees mixed with spices . Beautiful vanilla note. Ample, concentrated, generous and well-structured. deep fruit Well-shaped tannins. Good persistence.

Reviews:
Untitled
"A round red, with black cherry and spice flavors picking up a little iron as this moves across the palate. Well-structured and concentrated, turning more elegant on the refreshing finish. Best from 2012 through 2025. 400 cases imported. –BS" -Rated 91, Wine Spectator

"From a little-known monopole situated above Cent Vignes, Chanson’s 2005 Beaune Clos des Feves shares with its better-known neighbor high-toned aromas of cherry and cherry pit. In the mouth, licorice, cherry pit, brown spices and wet stones mingle with promising dynamic against a backdrop of firm, fine tannins, and a decidedly bitter-sweet and stony concentration completes a picture that promises positive development over the next several years. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85)." -Rated 88, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Untitled
"A complete wine that speaks of both richness and terroir. While the tannins are certainly there, they are dominated by rich black fruits, ripeness, power and concentration. It is the sort of wine that reveals many layers of flavor and complexity. Age for five years. — R.V. (12/31/2008)" -Rated 94, Wine Enthusiast
