2016 Givry Rouge 1. Cru Clos Salomon Domaine Clos Salomon

The 2016 Givry 1er Cru Clos Salomon is a success, wafting from the glass with notes of ripe raspberries and plums that mingle with notions of cocoa and spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with nice concentration and chewy substance, framed by fine tannins and juicy acids. After the richer and more sun-kissed 2015, this represents a return to a more classic profile.

An attractively fresh if restrained nose somewhat grudgingly offers up notes of black raspberry, plum and violet that are gently laced with earth and spice wisps. The rich and pleasingly textured medium weight flavors possess a sleek mouth feel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the delicious finish that delivers sneaky good length. Lovely and I particularly like the level of phenolic maturity displays by the structural elements. 91/2024+ .

The 2016 Givry Clos Salomon Rouge 1er Cru really shows off the quality of this appellation. It has a clean and pure bouquet with cranberry and wild strawberry, just a puff of chalk dust. The palate is well balanced with neatly integrated oak, and dark berry fruit infused with tea leaf and white pepper. Just a lovely Givry to drink over the next four or five years.

Let, elegant, karakterfuld, en anelse kalket med en fin sødmefuld pinot-frugt i bunden. Helt klassisk bourgogne med noter af sous bois og fylde nok til at møde svampene - måske med undtagelse af de meget kødfulde karljohansvampe. Flot bourgogne-køb.
