Really enjoyable and open, full of cherries and earthy goodness; everything I like about Burgundy

Well these two did not disappoint! Both wines showed so well and true to what people love about these great producers and their wines.
• 2011 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Gruenchers VV
• 1999 Guigal Ampuis Cote-Rotie
The Guigal I guessed blind as a 2000/2001, slightly torn between calling it a La Mouiline or Chateau Ampuis I ultimately went Ampuis. Guigal is pretty distinct in its character and the Ampuis is a beautiful introduction to the great Cote-Rotie wines from these hillside vineyards around the village of Ampuis, the namesake of this wine and the place it is made. This bottling was 🔥🔥🔥in this moment!
Fourrier is quickly becoming a favorite Burgundy producer of mine. This Chambolle was like terroir milled into silk. Texturally fine and plush, it was light as a feather with incredible density from the nose to the long, persistently elegant finish. This wine encapsulated what I feel are all of the great attributes that I love in a great red Burgundy. Purity abounds in this gorgeous Pinot Noir, textbook!
