Description
Wait until you taste this … a silky-smooth, gloriously rich 2005 from winemaking legend Alain Servau, whose Grand Cru reds sell out for £50–£100 a bottle, win huge acclaim and are a must-have for collectors worldwide.
Alain describes conditions as “perfect” in 2005 … Pinot Noir grapes, hand-picked from the steep slopes of Château de Montpatey’s tiny vineyard, came in bursting with health … and incredibly deep flavours.
“One great advantage of 2005 is the quality and value of Bourgogne Rouge – gorgeous, with intense, silky palates” (The Times)
As Alain says, you do very little with fruit this good – just let the Pinot Noir flavours sing … amplified in such a top year and rounded out by fine oak ageing.
“Delicious red Burgundy from a vintage that’ll be talked about for years! Has Alain’s trademark purity and elegance. Intense, classic raspberry and violet aromas lead to a velvety, voluptuous palate with impressive length of flavour. Perfect with rich game dishes.”
