Vincent Girardin
Les Vieilles Vignes Volnay Pinot Noir
Started off with a smoky aroma w some oak immediately upon opening. Then turned more complex. Wood chips, leather, baking spice, dark cherry. Smooth texture, good acidity, lingering finish w bolder fruit flavor than initially thought.

It always has a wonderful around us and is always delicious if it's from a good producer and the 2010 Vincent Girardin is just that . It has beautiful fruit great acid just a delicious wine to drink and very affordable on the Bouche wine list.

This could be a one-off, but definitely a seriously pretty bottle of burgundy, red fruited, floral and ethereal but soulful. Volnay for the win, I suppose.

Nov 12th, 2015Dark sour fruits; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, chalky, minerals, wet black earth, nice acidity with a raspberry cola finish. A Costco bargain at just under $25!
