🇬🇧 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vieilles Vignes 2023 – Vincent Girardin

✨ A classic from the southern Côte de Beaune – mineral tension, depth, and Burgundian elegance!

From the gently sloping hills of Chassagne-Montrachet, Vincent Girardin crafts a Chardonnay from old vines that delivers concentration, finesse, and a true expression of terroir. The Les Vieilles Vignes 2023 cuvée is a tribute to purity and tradition – a wine of precision, vibrancy, and remarkable length.

🍷 Tasting Note – Layered & Mineral-Fresh
This wine shines a brilliant pale gold in the glass. On the nose, ripe citrus, white peach, and acacia honey blend with hints of roasted almond, floral tones, and wet stone minerality. On the palate, richness meets clarity: juicy yellow fruits, a dash of salinity, and fresh acidity create the classic Chassagne tension. The oak aging adds a creamy texture and delicate notes of toasted brioche. The finish is long, elegant, and crystal-clear.
