2005 Domaine Gabriel Billard "Milliane" Bourgogne Rouge topic

This Domaine, run by two sisters, Mireille Desmonet and Laurent Jobard (the well-known and respected Drouhin enologist), makes lovely wines in Pommard. The Cuvée Milliane comes from a 1/2 Hectare parcel in the town of Pommard, with vines of more than 45 years of age. A gentle fermentation using native yeasts results in a charming wine, with a bright cherry note and a silky finish. In a year like 2005, this drinks much more like a village Pommard than like a simple Bourgogne Rouge.
