Camille Giroud, Vosne Romanee Chalandins Vintage:2020 the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard

the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is positively stunning

As with the rest of the 2014s

The caressing yet powerful big-bodied flavors flash good muscle on the raspy and somewhat short if very firm finish

garnished by hints of sage

penetrating finish

Camille Giroud, Vosne Romanee Chalandins Vintage:2020 the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard(from the Flagey side of the vineyard). A spicy and very Vosne like nose freely offers up its aromas of black pinot fruit, plum, hoisin and exotic tea. The suave and highly seductive flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while the finish displays focused power on the mildly warm finale. This needs to develop more depth but it should be able to do so if allowed a few years of cellaring.
