The first-growth 2005 Château Margaux (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot), a lavish fragrance of blackcurrants, velvety new saddle leather, spring flowers and spice soars from the glass.
Tasted at the château, the 2005 Chateau d’Yquem delivers a similar performance as last year. Lucid in colour, the bouquet is detailed with very pure honey, vanilla and almond scents, still a little new oak to be fully assimilated but demonstrating superb focus.
"A well-layered nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit, ample citrus and soft spice nuances that are framed but subtle but not invisible wood influence. Like the Blanchot there is excellent size, weight and muscle to the overtly powerful flavors that possess impressive depth and persistence on the sappy, balanced and harmonious finish. This is really very good and should age accordingly." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
The lieux-dit, Chambertin is charged with prestige. Perhaps one of Burgundy's most aristocratic appellations and greatest terroir. The domaine purchased its parcel in 1919 and the goal has been always to show off the underlying terroir, creating soil-driven and absolutely pure wines harkening to an earlier era. There is an emphasis on pure red plum and black cherry fruit, notes of grilled meat, cocoa powder, lovely soil tones surrounded by a judicious framing of oak tannins.
