Mike D's Article: Vincent Girardin Chassagne-Montrachet Vide Bourse 2002

Whooo, coming in hot! That’s right y’all. I know I have been behind in finishing and posting blogs for a hot minute. Been very busy with my day job as our new album, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, is out this Tuesday, May 3. But this wine is so good to go and straight up delicious, I had to make something happen. Consumed during our regular Sunday night family dinner, this wine was the perfect creamy and lemony companion for our ramps and asparagus pasta. Yes, spring is here. It’s evident in our food, and this white Burg is ready for the pairing! Springtime in a glass. A nose of grapefruit, lemon rind, wet stone and Dr. Brown’s cream soda. Drinking it down, it is creamy, almost foamy, almond-enriched, slight vanilla, balanced by plenty of acid, with a buttery batard-like richness. Floral and delicious. 94 points. Find the wine.
