Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire Réserve Vieilles Vignes Jean-Claude Fromont 2005
The 2005 Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire Réserve Vieilles Vignes is a red wine produced by Maison Jean-Claude Fromont, one of the few traditional family négociants remaining in Burgundy. The region of Burgundy in eastern France was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. Known for elevating terroir to an art form with its finely meshed system of climats, the region's limestone soils provide the foundation for some of the world's most sought-after wines. The 2005 vintage achieved a score of 97 points and is described as legendary, characterized by its structure and balance.
This wine belongs to the Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire appellation, an official AOC established in 1937 that covered the entire extended Burgundy region, stretching from the Yonne department in the north to the Rhône department in the south. Because the appellation was officially renamed Coteaux Bourguignons in 2011 to renew the area's image, the Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire designation is today exclusively found on older vintages. As a regional appellation, it encompassed an enormous variety of terroirs, climates, and soil conditions, ranging from the limestone and marl soils in the north to the more granite-rich soils of the Beaujolais area in the south.
The appellation distinguished itself by allowing great flexibility in the choice of grape varieties, giving winegrowers the opportunity to preserve and utilize several of the region's older and less widespread grapes. This specific "Réserve Vieilles Vignes" is primarily produced from old vines of Pinot Noir and Gamay. Pinot Noir is an elegant blue grape that is highly typical of Burgundy, as well as regions like Champagne, Germany, Oregon, and California. Gamay is a classic French grape predominantly found in Beaujolais and the Loire Valley. The wine was matured and bottled in Ligny-le-Châtel in the Yonne department.
