Bernard Burgaud believes that his 2005 will age "for 20 years plus, easily" and that it's among the most promising wines he has ever made, with "wonderful richness and excellent acidity. "Burgaud offers a single wine from six vineyards, mostly on the hillside and at high altitude, and he destems completely. The wines are of the focused, elegant school, never dramatic but consistently built along classic lines. Yields here in 2005 were 36 hectoliters per hectare, which Burgaud deems ideal.

Burgaud describes 2004 as a very classic vintage, while 2003 was "a unique year, with excessive sugar, ripeness, maturity, tannins and concentration."Like most of his colleagues, he is thrilled with the potential of his 2005.This is very small domain:Burgaud owns just four hectares of vines.The wines are characterized by their early power, weight and structure, and typically gain elegance only with patient cellaring.
