Domaine Michel Gay et Fils
Vergelesses Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir
First time with this producer but not the last. I don’t see this getting better. So fresh-black tea, cardamom and hazelnuts on the nose and palate.

Oct 27th, 2019Another terrific 2015 Burgundy from Michel Gay. We have a couple other 1er Crus to taste, but so far, very tasty Burgundy. If your non-Pinot friends don't like the 2015s from this producer, they can safely avoid Burgundy altogether. Bright cherry, cola nut, balanced acidity... simply delicious and fine to drink now. Some light mineral notes, white mushroom, but no overt farmyard/pasture stuff anywhere. Difficult to tell how this wine will change with age... short term (2-5 years) should be fine, but why wait?

Jan 24th, 2019Angular with a sour acid burst on the finish. Reminiscent of a tractor path in a pasture ... so essentially horse shit, dirt, and crushed grass/weeds.
