Allen Meadows’ Burghound
A slightly riper and more restrained nose grudgingly reflects aromas of spiced plum, forest floor and wild dark berries. The old vines show as there is a bit more volume and mid-palate density to the succulent flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the youthfully austere, complex and lingering finale. This is a quality Gevrey villages that should repay up to a decade of keeping and is worth a look. 89 Points, January 2024
Food Pairing
A great partner of guinea fowl, chicken, duck, rack of lamb or a simple steak (no heavy sauces. Also good partner with cheeses (not pungent)
