2021 Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

GW says: : 
When old vines speak, you listen—especially if they're whispering from the limestone-rich heart of Puligny-Montrachet. The 2021 vintage from Vincent Girardin is less of a wine and more of a masterclass in vinous diplomacy: bright yet creamy, structured yet flirtatious, and so mineral it could qualify as a palaeontologists dream. Grown from vines with roots deeper than most philosophical debates, this wine proves that age doesn’t just bring wisdom—it brings fabulously good Chardonnay. Expect floral fanfare on the nose, orchard fruit flirtation, and a palate that pirouettes between citrus zip and buttery bliss. A toast to old vines, new tricks, and Burgundy’s ability to age with style and just a touch of marzipan.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay, hand-picked from old vines with stories to tell.

Appearance: Pale gold with a hint of green - springtime in a glass.

Aroma: Hawthorn, marzipan, green apple, lemongrass, and the faint memory of grandma’s butter cookies.

Palate: Creamy texture meets crisp acidity with minerality sharp enough to etch glass.
