2016 Vincent Girardin Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru, Cote de Beaune

‘A riper if less elegant nose interweaves yellow orchard fruit and resin notes with those of pear and white peach. There is impressive volume to the sappy and opulent middle weight plus flavors that possess good minerality if not so much as the Perrières, all wrapped in a concentrated, powerful and solidly persistent finish where a bitter almost character slowly reveals itself. While this will certainly age to good effect, it should also drink reasonably well on the younger side.Drink 2024+’
