Note di degustazione
The 2012 Givry 1er Cru Crausot appears to have a little more panache and ripeness on the nose compared to the Clos Jus, with a noticeable iodine scent. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe entry, fine tannins, nicely judged acidity and a solid and quite structured finish (for a Mercurey.) Very focused and beautifully crafted, this is a delicious Givry that is succinctly crafted. One Lumpp or two? My advice is to take two because this domaine has been producing exquisite Givry wine for many years now and I am only too pleased to have found three exemplary reds that deliver quality for those who don’t care whether it is Givry or Gevrey, as long as the wine tastes good. Importers: available through various importers in both the US and UK.

Leathery, liquorice and black cherry. Lovely purity of flavour here; a great advert for looking to less prestigious appellations in expensive years to find satisfaction. Lovely clarity and classic earthy complexity. (RH)
A subtle touch of wood frames notably ripe but fresh aromas of black cherry, plum, cassis and spice elements. There is excellent richness and volume to the tension-filled and wonderfully textured middle weight flavors that are also supported by a phenolically mature tannic spine, all wrapped in a firm and very long finish that is just a bit more structured. Terrific quality. Tasted: Oct 15, 2013. Drink: 2020+
