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 15 months.
Dark ruby colour. Very pure aromas of blackberry and raspberry mixed with toasty nuances and spices. Beautiful vanilla note.
Generous, ample and well-balanced. Good aromatic density. Well defined tannins and good persistence.

Untitled
"A sinewy '05, offering violet, raspberry and morello notes. It's lean and firm in texture. Finishes up with grainy tannins, but there's fruit, too. Drink now through 2011. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 100 cases imported. –BS" -Rated 89, Wine Spectator

"Rich and also delicious, this is true Chambolle. The wine revels in its rich, ripe, soft fruits, its flavors of wild strawberries and plum jelly. Of course, there are tannins, a core of dryness, but the exuberant fruit dominates this already delicious wine. — R.V. (12/31/2008)" -Rated 89, Wine Enthusiast
