Givry 1er cru Crausot Rouge 2014
This also evidences notes of dark cherry with more obvious floral scents that include violets and rose petal along with hints of spice, earth and sandalwood. Once again there is a really lovely mouth feel to the medium weight flavors that display a fine bead of minerality on the beautifully complex, intense and moderately austere finish. As is often the case, this is the best wine in the range in 2014 and one to absolutely look for.

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.
