Happy Wine Wednesday! It's certainly been a while since I've posted on a Wednesday, so hopefully this is a good one. Tonight I've opened up a bottle of Burgundy that I recently purchased from Wines Till Sold Out. The 2018 Domaine Deliance Givry 1er cru Clos Charle is a pinot noir from the chalky limestone soils and cool climate of Givry. I admit I've been on a bit of a pinot noir kick lately, so let's see how this wine is tasting!
The wine is a beautiful garnet color in the glass, with great clarity, as you might expect from the varietal. A gentle swirl in the glass releases ample aromas of strawberry, sweet cherry and earthy peat with just the faintest hints of the classic Burgundy tar. Take a sip and you're treated to a rush of ripe berry fruit that eases gently to some earthy mineral notes of dusty limestone and smoke midpalate. The tannins are at first gripping, but then they soften to support the dry, supple finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8.5, as it's a lovely Burgundy at a value price of just $27. This wine would also pair well with some more challenging fare, from duck, to pork, Indian cuisine to chili. Tonight I am enjoying this wine with a sesame grilled pork tenderloin along with oven roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus with Hollandaise. Cheers!
