Another 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?

Angular 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.

Cherry, cola, touch of mint, earth. Enjoyed with a flank steak and was just a perfect compliment.

Jasmine, very complex with deep tones, and bergamot, hint of sulfur, flowering bouquet, our favorite so far..
