- Chardonnay
- Background
- An amazing value wine. True Meursault quality at a reasonable price. Vieilles vignes means old vines. But then again, all of Alain’s wines are “old vines”. He just happens to put it on this label.
- Tasting Notes
- Terrific structure. Shows a bit of barrel influence in the nose, along with white peach. Builds across the palate with a big streak of minerality, finishing with a touch of caramel and yellow raisin. Serious Meursault at this level.
