89 Points
Sunday, April 22, 2012 - This chardonnay from the Maconnais really impressed me in 2009, and the 2010 is even better. Drank with Val, Geoff and Danica. Aromas of green apple, pear and a hint of buttercream. The palate is full of acid and minerals, combined with creamy yellow pear fruit and butter. There's some oak in this wine, but the pure, focused nature of the fruit really shines through. Hint of seashell on the finish. My oak-loving girlfriend even enjoyed this. 89+

"Vieilles Vignes is produced from 75 to 90 year old vines and matured in stainless steel vats and 15% new / 85% seasoned fine-grained oak barrels for 24 months."
Perhaps your girlfriend picked up on it.
