Chanson Beaune Greves 1er Cru 2005

[ Home > Wines > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Chanson Beaune Greves 1er Cru 2005 ]

Country: France
Region: Burgundy

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 cask during 13 months.

Dark ruby colour. Intense aromas of cooked red fruit mixed with toffees and spicy nuances. Subtle vanilla note. Well-structured, ample, generous. Beautiful aromatic combination. Well-integrated oak and solid tannins. Good persistence.

Reviews:
Untitled
"Immediately appealing for its black cherry and supple texture, yet this red has the structure to develop over time. Ripe tannins and bright acidity shore up the finish. Best from 2011 through 2020. 300 cases imported. –BS" -Rated 90, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"A beautifully perfumed wine, all herbs and smokiness. The palate sings the same tune, a rich, sensuous one, laced with more somber notes of dark, dry tannins. At the end of the day, this is already a delicious wine, but one that will really improve over 5–10 years. — R.V. (12/31/2008)" -Rated 95, Wine Enthusiast
