QPR Alert! in Burgund no less.... 2006 Domaine Digioiaa-Royer

[TheEngineer]

The 2006 Domaine Digioia-Royer Bourgogne is a base level bottling from this domaine that has serious attitude. It is good as in a Michel Lafarge Bourgogne, and it is even cheaper at about $20.

I bought this a few years ago and forgot it in the back of the small wine frdge up in my room. I've never had his stuff before. On opening, I liked just a drop on the side of the glass. Looked promising, then took a sip to confirm. This thing had a density in flavours and structure that would beat the socks of more expensive village and 1er cru's.

Good density of flavours, still a bit tanninc and backwards, needs time still... for a bourgogne. Good purity of PN fruit, great structure. A bit high on the acidity but this is not a shy wine. Muscular but with finess. I'm gonna hafta try a few more of his other wines to see if this is true across the board. I've not heard of him before
