Fleurie 'Les Grands Prés' 2014
An attractively perfumed nose offers up notes of spice, pepper and various red and dark berry fruit elements that lead to beautifully textured and markedly earthy middle weight flavors that terminate in a firm yet refined finale that exhibits moderate austerity. This will need a few years to flesh out and more fully harmonize.

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.
