Domaine du Clos Salomon Givry 1er Cru Clos Salomon 2020, Burgundy

Surely the grand cru of Givry, the Clos Salomon, a monopole of this historic domaine has supplied wines to popes and kings since the middle ages. Lost in time, the wines are resolutely old-school. Refined, firm and aristocratic, notes of juniper, redcurrant, and small red berries, are framed by fine, sleek tannins, giving on to a long, digestible, dangerously moreish finish. One of the best buys from Burgundy we can remember.
