Domaine de Clos Salomon, Givrey Premier Cru (Burgundy, France) 2016

 Domaine Salomon is a — perhaps the — star in Givrey, yet another under-rated village in the Côte Chalonnaise.  (Don’t confuse this village with Gevrey, as in Chambertin, in the Côte d’Or.)  This wine, their flagship, hails from a 17.5-acre that they own exclusively.  In a word, it’s delicious.  Bright acidity amplifies the intertwined red fruit and earth flavors in this mid-weight wine.  Best of all, fabulously fine tannins add a seductive texture.  Charming now, I have no doubt it will evolve beautifully over the next few years.
