Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 23, 2009 - Girardin plays chardonnay like a violin; delicate, serious and often beautiful, looking for finesse and with the accent on the fruit. With Émotion, he proves he can fiddle as well, and it can be just as pretty. Ripe apple, hints of almond and mineral notes are balanced by a delicate acidity. It is refreshing to see that the fabled Burgundian fields of Puligny and Meursault, perhaps the apogee of chardonnay, can produce such a complex yet laid-back wine. Food pairing: Roast turkey with mushroom sauce. Grilled salmon.
