A Wine of Primal Conviction – Pierre Guillemot Bourgogne Rouge, 2006
We’ve really never been the kind of shop that rolls over for ratings or goes out for prom queen wines. We let our loves drive our selection. This one smells like Vermont farm boots and taste like heaven.
Guillemot’s Bourgogne has the super-stink up front, like an under ripe red cherry in the middle of a pile of old damp hay and freshly turned topsoil. But on the palette, it’s super-clean, classic Burgundian Pinot Noir. The kind of middle-weight wine that foodies across the country are starting to worship. That red cherry thing is there for sure, but it breaks into a minerally, mouthwatering mossy wine with a really nice hit of spice that pops up right before the mellow tobacco and clove finish sets in. I’ll be loving this wine for a minute, and so will you. At less than 20 bucks for a bottle, I’ll be drinking this one with bone marrow, grilled fish and roasted bird… frequently.
Pierre Guillemot Bourgogne Rouge, 2006 – $18.75
