Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon
If you were to ask a grape-grower in Burgundy to name the dream scenario for the production of healthy, ripe and concentrated fruit, the answer would be simply, "2005!" What a year! All was in harmony in the vineyards; that led to perfectly balanced wines and then to that explosion of flavor in the mouth. If there is one dominant characteristic of these glorious wines from Burgundy, it is their thrilling combination of ripeness and acidity. In short, they will be in great demand not only because they have great current appeal but also real potential for aging. The Duke has a long tradition of offering futures of the wines of Maison Joseph Drouhin, which is located in Beaune, France. This year is no exception, as we will be holding our annual futures seminar for the superb 2005 Drouhin Burgundies on Wednesday, April 25. Details about this tasting event were sent out in the last few days. To tease your palate, we have assembled our futures list and present it to you now. Many of the wines listed here will be sampled that evening and all will be offered. Plan to attend our seminar but, if you can't, here is an opportunity to place your order early. Why should you buy on "future?" The simple answer is that, in many cases, you simply will not be able to find the wines again. While the quality of the 2005 vintage is outstanding, the quantity was somewhat below the normal production levels. With a vintage this desirable, lovers of Burgundy should not delay in reserving their share. A 20% deposit will hold your order. All orders are subject to confirmation. 
Many of these wonderful examples of Burgundy and the incredible 2005 vintage will be available to taste at the Duke's tasting seminar scheduled for April 25, 2007. But don't wait until then to place an order. Supplies are tight and allocations limited. Call the Duke today!! P. S. If you have a particular favorite wine from Drouhin that you don't see listed here, call us anyway. We most likely will be able to obtain it for you. Think of fine wine! Think of the Duke!
