2005 Domaine Bertagna Vougeot Les Cras 1er Cru
Wine Spectator | Rating: 92
A blast of raspberry and bilberry greets the senses before the firm tannins sweep in, shutting this down. Pure and detailed, with fine intensity and a long, spice-and mineral-tinged finish. 25 cases imported.Author: Bruce SandersonBurghound | Rating: 91
As one would expect, this is much more deeply pitched with distinctly more earth tones on the dark berry fruit nose that leads to richer, bigger and more structured flavors that are quite serious and well balanced if less refined. This is a punchy and sleekly muscled wine that will need some cellar time to round off the edges.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 1st Quarter, 2007

Burgundy is home to some of the greatest and most expensive wines in the world. Stretching from Auxerre in the north to Lyon in the south, the region's most famous section is the limestone-rich Côte d'Or. Vineyards in Burgundy are classified according to their locations on the hillsides. Only 2% of total production is from grand cru sites, while premier cru and village-level wines are more common. It is rare for one domaine to own an entire vineyard; rather the land has been divided down to individual rows, in some cases as a result of inheritance laws. While other varieties can be found in Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme. The best examples are capable of aging for 15 years or more, a rarity for these two varieties, making them highly valuable.
