2019 Vincent Girardin '1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus' Chassagne-Montrachet

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - Here too a deft application of wood serves as a relatively neutral backdrop for the cool, pure and airy nose that displays mostly essence of pear, floral and pretty spice wisps. The supple yet concentrated and quite serious big-bodied flavors flash evident power and muscle on the explosive and almost painfully intense finish that is also compact and backward. I would suggest allowing this at least 5 years of cellaring but it should amply reward a decade plus of it. In a word, terrific. Sweet spot Outstanding (93-95pts)"
