Chambertin 2005 Domaine Jacques Prieur

Avis professionnels

Burghound (95)

A supremely classy, refined and regally reserved nose of a simply amazing panoply of aromas that run the entire gamut of fruit from red to black and includes spice, game, leather, tea, underbrush and plenty of Gevrey earth that can also be found on the rich, full, powerful and robustly structured flavors that are perhaps a bit more new world in style than the rest of the range yet it sacrifices no sense of detail on the textured and hugely long finish. This isn't really my style but there is no question that the '05 Cham is a genuinely great wine.
