2017 Givry Clos du Cellier Aux Moines

The 2017 Givry 1er Cru Clos Du Cellier Aux Moines is the deepest, most concentrated of Joblot's 2017s but also—appropriately—the most backward at this early stage. The wine offers up lovely aromas of ripe red cherries, candied peel and flowers, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, juicy and initially expansive, but it's still tight-knit at the core. The purity of its expression of fruit is impressive, and from bottle, I suspect it to rank as the finest of these premiers crus.
