Vincent Girardin Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vieilles Vignes 2015 brand_Domaine Billaud-Simon the grape were gently pressedA beautiful light straw color in the glass. Aromas of Meyer lemon, white flowers and tropical fruit mix with notes of limestone and just a hint of white pepper. On the palate, flavors of racy citrus and bosc pear are broad and expansive, yet the wine remains focused and linear thanks to a core of bright acidity. Medium in length without being too rich, the overall impression is one of deft balance and keeps one coming back. Made from 50 year old vines
