Rene Leclerc Bourgogne 2011

2011 was early vintage – good vintage and in some cases very good vintage. The vintage is lost around the great 2009s and 2010s, but it certainly deserves a look, or two, – an early drinker. 

This Bourgogne displays easy-going fruit with medium concentration and supple tannins. A bit fresh with ripe, but not over-ripe fruit and a classic burgundy pinot noir earthiness. It needs to be on your list.
