Another excellent value from Girardin. Pale yellow, nose of flowers and crushed rocks, vibrant minerality and salinity, and very Chablisean. Lots of complexity for this price point. This should be purchased in quantity. Outstanding effort.

Decanted for ~1 hr. Pale golden yellow. Beautiful aromas of tart apple, unripe pears, and minerals. Palate follows with a nice weight, more golden apples through the mid-palate, and ends with more apples and some minerality on a moderately long finish. Really nice acids. Elegant. Went very well with spaghetti and clams. Bought on sale for $17 - great QPR.

Tonight this is all bright crisp citrus and green fruit framed in just abit of oak with a strong mineral laden core. If I didn't know this was Rully, I would have confidently guessed Chablis.

Enjoyed this a lot: Loads of sweet, ripe fruit but with enough mineral and (I think) a hint of mostly neutral oak to be a clearly Burgundian take on Chard. VG's wines always seem to overdeliver for the price, and this one does that in spades. 90.

Very nice. Crisp green fruit, firm minerality and some tarry undertones. Very good qpr.
