BURGUNDY 2005 KEPT UNDER WRAPS

Decanter has reported that the 2005 Burgundy vintage is likely to turn out as good as the 2005 Bordeaux, although much less hyped.

While many retailers haven't finalized their offers, most wines are costing around 15% more than last year. However, the Burgundy price hikes are significantly lower than those of Bordeaux 2005, which in some instances soared 300% over 2004 prices.
