Vincent Girardin Chassagne Montrachet 2009

Tonight we tasted the Vincent Girardin Chassagne Montrachet 2009.

This was opened and poured gradually over a 2 and a half hour period.

First impressions were this was very closed with unexpressive nose that did not leave any distinct impression. Gradually however it started opening with citrus flavours beginning to show and minerality followed by a smooth but short finish. By the end of the evening its potential was increasing. Pale yellow in colour. Give this one time to open up before consuming. Price wise at retail stores this is quite reasonable.

Price versus quality: 16/20.
Overall: 15/20.

If allowed time to open up potentially increase score by a point or two.
