Louis Baisinbert, Givry Premier Cru (Burgundy, France) Les Combes 2013

($40): Baisinbert made just two barrels of this charming red.  Wonderfully fragrant, it delivers bright raspberry-like fruitiness without a trace of heaviness or jamminess.  He has delivered a wine with good body and concentration, avoiding the leanness often found in wines from Givry.  As expected from red Burgundy, the flavors dance on the palate.  Not a heavy-weight, this Givry Premier Cru would be a good choice for lighter meats or even broiled salmon this winter.
