Camille Giroud Bourgogne Cuvee L 2009

This is a very special wine from Giroud. After bottling the other reds from the domaine, they assemble the racked lees from all the wines, give it time to settle as best as possible, and then bottle the blend. The wine is sold as a Bourgogne rouge, but in reality the wine is a blend of village, 1er cru and even grand cru. No doubt this wine has some terroir backbone, and is much better than an ordinary Bourgogne rouge. The good structure really suits the 2009 vintage – good. (now – 2020) – 87p
