Camille Giroud Marsannay "Les Longeroies" 2009
These newer Girouds all seem so polished compared to the rustic delights that surfaced from the cellars after decades of ageing. Despite the warm year, this one is a brighter, more focused, less burly wine than the Bouvier Marsannay also available here now and better for it. I do get some oak in my nostrils which isn't too pleasant, but perhaps that can be forgiven in such a young wine that still exhibits obvious Pinosity of considerable (but very polished) charm? Quite soft, but not over-fruited and pleasantly light, so it doesn't really require any more structure than it has. Easygoing rather than intense, but still long aftertaste.
If it weren't 30€ I would get another bottle to age a few years. In fact, we see so little good Burgundy here, that I still might though I do find the price a bit on the absurd side for a nice little wine.
