Domaine d'Ardhuy 2005 Les Chaumes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
-
$100
A young wine, but one that is going to develop well, with great ripe fruit, acidity and layers of firm tannins. This solid structure amply supports the fruit. Give this wine perhaps 5 years, and it will show great class.

Domaine d'Ardhuy 2003 Clos de Vougeot Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
-
$140
Superripe, this shows the richness of 2003. The tannins are layered between wood and toast flavors, while the fruit is bright and almost sweet. This is big, concentrated and jammy.

Domaine d'Ardhuy 2003 Clos des Langres Pinot Noir (Côte de Nuits-Villages)
-
$32
Clos des Langres, showpiece estate of the Domaine d’Ardhuy, is situated right at the end of the Côte de Nuits, just before it transitions into the Côte de Beaune. This 2003, weighty for a wine from this estate, is still fresh, with crisp acidity topping the attractive, balanced red fruits.

A firm, dense wine, with new wood flavors, solid tannins and ripe, clean, rich, red fruit flavors. This is a wine with a good future, showing all the right potential in tannins and fruit.

Domaine d'Ardhuy 2003 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
-
$46
A perfumed wine, with life and freshness. The flavors of ripe fruit, typical of 2003, are very evident, but so also is a lift of acidity and raspberry fruit flavors. Delicious already.
