Givry 1er cru A Vigne Rouge 2014
There is a mild veneer of wood setting off a ripe but cool nose of red and blue pinot fruit along with background notes of plum and warm earth. There is notably good richness to the relatively full-bodied flavors that possess good length on the seductively textured and beautifully well-balanced finale. Note that this is so well-balanced that it could already be approached now if young fruit is your preference.

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.
