Bouchard Père & Fils La Romanée 2005, six 750mL bottles in the original card case (OCC). The 0.2-hectare La Romanée Grand Cru monopole in Vosne-Romanée has been bottled under its own name by Bouchard Père & Fils since 1821, and the 2005 vintage is widely cited as a leading red Burgundy vintage of the early 2000s.
About This Wine
La Romanée is the smallest of the Vosne-Romanée Grands Crus and produces only a few thousand bottles a year. The 2005 growing season was marked by warm, sunny conditions that produced ripe, structured Pinot Noir, a vintage widely regarded as a leading modern red Burgundy year. Bottles are presented in the original card case for provenance.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Ripe red cherry, raspberry, violet and a fine spice lift.
- Palate: Concentrated Pinot Noir with firm but ripe tannin, dense red fruit and the savoury mid-palate Vosne-Romanée is known for.
- Finish: Long, structured and perfumed, with the ripe generosity of the 2005 vintage.
Serving & Food
Decant an hour before pouring and serve at 16 to 17°C in a large Burgundy glass. Pairs well with roast duck, lamb or aged Comté.
How to Enjoy
Open the case ahead of time, give the bottle an hour in glass or decanter, and serve with a simply roasted bird or game.

About the Domaine
Bouchard Père & Fils is among the largest vineyard owners on the Côte d'Or, with parcels that include a 0.9-hectare holding in Montrachet and the 0.2-hectare walled La Romanée monopole in Vosne-Romanée. The house has held La Romanée since 1821, and the wines are aged in the underground galleries of the Château de Beaune, the 15th-century fortress that has been the maison's headquarters since 1820. The 2005 red Burgundy vintage is recognised as a reference year, producing concentrated, age-worthy Pinot Noir across the Côte de Nuits.
