كلود لوبلان نوي-سان-جورج فيي فين 2021، بورغوندي

That tarry-earthy note on the nose is what sold me — it’s got real depth without being heavy. The firm structure softened beautifully after an hour in the glass, and the cherry and herb hints came through just as described. Definitely worth the splurge for a special dinner.

The herbaceous-juicy finish is surprisingly long, and that hint of cherry really balances the firm tannins. I opened it with a roast chicken and it was a perfect match — felt like a much pricier bottle.

That tobacco and earthy note really comes through on the nose, and the finish has a pleasant tarry edge that lingers. A solid, structured Burgundy that’s still a bit tight but shows real promise with some air.
