Domaine Joseph Voillot Pommard "Vieilles Vignes" 2005
NZD $68.95
The much applauded 2005 vintage that almost with no exception was one of the greatest ever almost across every region in Europe. We will not dwell too much on the 2005 Burgundy's as their pedigree are well known now, we'll just say that this is another terrific example of what Pommard should be, powerful, structured, concentrated and racy yet very elegant, balanced and incredibly focused. Interestingly enough it is a wine that is drinking very well now however it would offer tremendous rewards to those with the patience to wait for it. This is what Mr. Allen Meadows, one of the most renowned Burgundy experts had to say about it:
A very Pinot nose of airy red Pinot fruit nuanced with subtle hints of earth, underbrush and a hint of animale gives way to serious, powerful and punchy flavours that are attractive and persistent. "Allen Meadows"

For lovers of outstanding Chardonnay, words like Puligny-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet and Montrachet is just mouth watering.

Simone Bize Savigny-les-Beaune "Les Bourgeots" 2005
NZD $59.95 NZD $54.95
Savigny-Les-Beaune has been and is one of the most under rated appellation in Burgundy. Wines from this commune offer one of the best bargains to be had in all of burgundy. They are delineated wines with perfect expressions of their terroir. Even though it is a normal village wine, the 2005 is showing terrific acidity, nerve and concentration, very well balanced, good texture and fantastic length. Will start drinking quite well in about 4-5 years with further potential for another 3-4 years after that.

Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaunes 1er Cru "Aux Vergelesses" 2005
NZD $93.95 NZD $89.95
From above the eponymous Pernand cru, Bize's 2005 Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Vergelesses suggests black cherry, blackberry, beet root, and high-toned distillates of black fruit on the nose. With a palate concentration approaching bitterness, this saturates the palate with black fruits, fruit pits, brown spices, beef marrow, and distinctly salty and chalky mineral suggestions. The tannins are quite refined. (And by the way, only 15% new barrels were employed.) Finishing with continued clarity and brightness as well as real grip, it makes a superb case for the inherent complexity of Savigny's top sites. I would revisit this quintessentially darkly-hued, concentrated 2005 in only three or four years but expect it to evolve interestingly for a dozen. Score: 93. -David Schildknecht, June 2007 (Taken from The Wine Advocate.)
