Chanson Beaune Champimonts 2005

[ Home > Wines > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Chanson Beaune Champimonts 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 15 months

Bright ruby colour. Aromas of black plum, of strawbery mixed with toffees and toasty notes. Well-balanced, complex on a beautiful aromatic structure, a well-integrated oak note and foursquare fruit tannins. Long aftertaste.

Reviews:
Untitled
"Polished and appealing. Black currant, violet and pomegranate aromas and flavors are beautifully displayed on a silky texture. It's all supported by a well-integrated structure. Fresh finish. Best from 2011 through 2020. 300 cases imported. –BS" -Rated 92, Wine Spectator

"The 2005 Beaune Champimonts – from a high elevation site whose name is subject to alternate spellings – offers an alluring nose of ripe purple plum, black cherry and sea breezes. Brine-crusted fresh plum, cherry pits and wet stones inform this Pinot’s concentrated palate impression. Like a number of the Chanson 2005s, it wears its tannins rather obviously, finishing with a touch of austerity, but I would not mind betting on this wine’s improving over 3-5 years in my cellar. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85)." -Rated 87, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Strawberry aromas are out in force here. On the palate, the wine is more structured, with some dark tannins, but its fruit is still right out there, with sweetness as well as richness. The texture is velvet smooth, leavened with acidity. — R.V. (12/31/2008)" -Rated 90, Wine Enthusiast
