This Burgundy is a direct import by K&L Wine Merchants based in San Francisco and is produced by Domaine Yves Girarday. It is a bit of a throwback to old style Burgundy in the good sense in the way it captures the elegance, subtlety and harmony of classic Beaune. Medium garnet in color, it offers a pretty aroma of cherry, earthiness, and dried herbs. In the mouth, it is vibrant with a fleshy, silky feel and flavors of red fruits along with nicely woven hints of truffles and forest floor. It is all framed by good acidity and finishes long with smooth tannins.
