A French burgundy that tastes like a California Pinot (sorry). Cherry, but tannic.

Tasted blind.
Thought it was a 10 year old Côte Rotie.
Very accessable, smoky and bacon. French Oak. Only the light colour shows that is no Syrah ;-)

Balance! From Savigny-lès-Beaune, the Clos du Roi 2010 is a rock star. It's the reason to choose Burgundy over Pinot Noir grown here in the US. Bell peppers, cucumbers, and oak on the nose. Round fat fruit dark and ripe strawberries and blueberries but not your traditional American fruit bomb. The oak lingers with an almost saltiness/sweetness from the terrior of Burgundy. Granny Smith apples, but not sour - sweet with a tang. Medium finish, and not dry at all. Christmas Eve meal of 12 oz. lean filet mignon rare with a peppered crust. My thought was that the steak would run over the wine but it held its own. The subtlety of the wine flavor actually enhanced the pepper in the steak. I am a fan of The House of Chanson, and their premier Burgundy. Will my countrymen produce such a subtle companion to Christmas dinner?
