Mes Cinq Terroirs 2013
A super fresh, complex and very pretty nose features notes of plum, wild red berries, plum, warm earth and plenty of sauvage character. There is fine richness and plenty of underlying tension to the utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the dusty, balanced and solidly persistent finish. This is firm but not hard and should drink well young if desired. Recommended.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
