* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A powerful wine, filled with rich, solid fruit, high tannins and shot through with dark plums, flavors of toast and a layer of acidity.

A terroir-driven wine, with its earthy aromas and its foursquare fruit structure. It has power, an engine of fruit, sweet tannins and flavors of cranberries and wild strawberries, all supported by considerable structure. The aftertaste is luscious.

A blend from several premier cru vineyards in Pommard, here is a wine that exhibits just the right firm but dusty tannins of the appellation. But because it is 2005, the natural exuberance of the fruit is also there, lively red berries under the dry structure. It needs some aging, but already the richness is there, along with a smoky aftertaste.

A blend of premier cru vineyards, this wine is fresh, with plenty of lively white fruit flavors. But there’s enough richness there to balance the green flavors. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

It’s the citrus character that is the most immediately obvious in this wine. But there is much more to it than just that: wood, ripe peaches and quinces, and a layer of fresh acidity that more than balances the ripeness of the fruit. This is charming already, but should develop over the next few years. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

Bouchard is in the fortunate position of having vines at all heights on the slope of this great vineyard. That gives a complete picture of the richness of the wines, the open fruitiness of this grand cru. Yellow-fruit flavors are accented by wood and spice. The wine also has good acidity, and fine structure for aging. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

A wine that reflects the relative lightness of the reds in this vintage. It has a layer of tannins, but they don’t suggest aging; they are more a base for the attractive raspberry and red plum flavor, freshened by the acidity.

This is a big wine, powered by dusty, ripe tannins, and dense black fruit flavors. The power doesn’t take away from the wine’s freshness and its rich perfumes. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

Soft, juicy wine, packed with plums and red berry flavors, but given sophistication by its dry tannins. The aftertaste is back to freshness, acidity and celebration.
