Denis et Didier Berthollier
Vieilles Vignes Chignin Jacquère
Chignin, Savoie, France
I don’t know if it’s the five years of age, but it was short in the mouth despite promising beginnings. The nose was absolutely lovely.

Mar 26th, 2022Enjoyed it but it was predominantly tart and somewhat short. I decanted it (a first for me with younger whites), and I believe it got mellower and rounder. Clearly a refined wine but I am betting it will age better than drinking it now.
