Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - Excellent 2010 Girardin and Chartron White Burgundies (Wellington, New Zealand): Colour pale gold. A dumber bouquet than the Girardin, dominated by lactic aromas: clotted cream and almond croissant, with lemon. Spicy oak is more prominent on the nose. On palate, this has heavier fruit weight but seems a bit monolithic, clumsy and unbalanced. Also, the acids dominate and the wine finishes a little shortish. But my sense is that the components are all there for the future and that this will come together in five or so years, when it may merit more than 91. Apparently, from vines 21-72 years old.
