More smoky and riper than the Montée de Tonnerre. Smoky oaked citrus. Light, fresh but very long. (JH)

(a selection of the best parcels made after the elevage; both this and the regular Fourchaume bottling saw about 50% barriques, but no new barrels) Bright, pale color, less green than the regular bottling. Richer, riper nose suggests lemon, menthol, white flowers and hazelnut. Silky, broad and rich without being at all heavy, thanks to firm minerality. Sweeter and creamier than the Fourchaume, with a volume and structure approaching that of a grand cru. Finishes broad and long. Perhaps the most Cote d'Or-like of these 2005s in its sheer richness.
