Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Premier Cru Meursault-Charmes Chardonnay
New bottling from Girard and wow is this a stunner. Nose is so nimble yet super expressive. Spicey oak, saltiness, hint of vanilla extract, lime zest, pink grapefruit, ginger and spice. Only scratching the surface here. Palate is ungodly elegant and complex already with stellar concentration and unreal amounts of finesse. Wow is this a stunning wine and why Whjte. Burgundy is best Chardonnay in the world. The palate is just so classy and delicate. So much density yet offset by the grace of this magnificent wine. The nose now is opening with such complex spice. Wow. Super pure and so deep but the nimbleness is something else. Unreal squeegee of concentration and the finish goes on for a mile. 9.7 out of the bottle. Let’s see there the goes. The nose now has a gumdrop thing going on it. So mineral. Wood shavings, cinnamon and just stunning aromas. So elegant and the finish is getting more sapid and intense. Nose is so airy now and ethereal. More focused. Elegant and opulent and so graceful. Long finish of mineral and sweet wood. Gorgeous spice.
