The Puligny-Montrachet Les Vieilles Vignes after opening in the glass with notes of white peach, orange oil, wheat toast and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny, and incisive, with a delicately textural attack, lively acids, and a long, precise finish. Even though this is one of the house's more accessible cuvées, it will really reward a year or two of bottle age with greater plenitude and expression.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Vincent Girardin is a renowned producer of Burgundy wines, and their Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a true gem of the region. The vineyards used to produce this wine are located in the heart of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, and the vines are over 50 years old, giving the wine a depth and complexity that is hard to match.
The wine is made using traditional Burgundian techniques, with a focus on minimal intervention and allowing the terroir to shine through. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, and then gently pressed to extract the juice. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used to add complexity and depth.
The result is a wine that is rich and full-bodied, with a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity. The nose is full of aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and honey, with a hint of vanilla and toast from the oak. On the palate, the wine is creamy and luscious, with flavors of ripe fruit, honey, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and lingering, with a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity.
Overall, Vincent Girardin's Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a stunning example of Burgundy wine, and a must-try for any wine lover. Its depth and complexity make it a perfect pairing for rich, creamy dishes like lobster bisque or chicken in cream sauce. Whether you're a Burgundy aficionado or just looking to try something new, this wine is sure to please.
