Clos Napoleon is Fixin's greatest vineyard, a premier cru monopole owned outright by Domaine Pierre Gelin, and 2005 was a vintage worth saving it for. Where the firmer 1999 leans classic and structured, 2005 came from a long, warm summer that gave riper fruit and rounder, sweeter tannins, all while keeping its acidity intact. Two decades on, this old-vine Pinot Noir has grown supple and complete, the structure of a great vintage now folded into velvet. It's mature and drinking gorgeously, with the depth and length that made 2005 one of Burgundy's benchmark red years. A monopole from a legendary vintage, and there isn't much of it anywhere.

"This too is surprisingly refined and offers up red and blue pinot fruit aromas that are distinctly earthy in character where the earth can also be found on the finer and accessible middle weight flavors that offer solid balance and ample finishing intensity. Excellent quality here."
