First impression on opening; No fruit, no finish, but an interesting minerally mid-palate. Excellent bright and clear color. Much more floral and barnyard on the nose than 2 Oregon pinots we drank with this wine.Opened up and improved markedly with just a little air. A good wine and a real contrast with the new world style; flinty and clean vs. fruit forward. Definitely buy again at this price point.

Girardin chassange-montrachet 08. Dark purple. A: barn and pepper. Some sour blackberry... Quite narrow and tight. Elegant and nice acidity. Needs food (and some more time) I guess.

Good value for the money. Dark berries and grapes. Silky, minerally and long. Not great, but competes well above its price range.
