Comparing the 1er Cru to the village-level I had 2 days ago. Similar Givry expression of Pinot, but with a more perfumed nose and higher concentration. More cranberry notes, a little more acid. Very elevated, and way more length. I can definitely appreciate the layering, structure and more complex finish, but for me I like both tiers the same. The village-level is straightforward but so tasty. This is refined but a maybe a little fussy. Both so good. Different tastes for different evenings. Great little known Burgundy producer!!

Great acidity and concentrated red fruit. Some forest floor on the nose as well. Young, but enjoyable.
