Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-musigny 2021 750ml

Vincent Girardin's old vine Chambolle-Musigny showcases this legendary village in a vintage that emphasized elegance and aromatic complexity. The 2021 brings out Chambolle's ethereal character in full glory.

The wine opens with the perfumed aromatics that make Chambolle famous - rose petals and violets dominate, accompanied by red cherry and subtle spice. The old vines contribute concentration despite the vintage's challenges, creating unexpected depth. As it develops, hints of tea, forest floor, and that distinctive Chambolle minerality emerge. On the palate, silky tannins barely register, creating that sensation of liquid silk that defines great Chambolle. Fresh acidity lifts the delicate fruit flavors, while the finish floats away with floral echoes.

This 2021 Vieilles Vignes captures Chambolle at its most seductive. Girardin's gentle touch and the vintage's natural elegance combine to create a wine of pure finesse. For those who appreciate Burgundy's feminine side, this bottle offers authentic village character with the added complexity that comes from old vines. A wine that whispers rather than shouts, perfect for contemplative enjoyment.
