The 2008 Chardonnay Vigne Frissonniere is very beautiful in the way expressive varietal notes are framed by a persistent underlying minerality. This Chablis-like white offers outstanding overall balance and plenty of style. The finish is long, refined and simply impeccable. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. From top to bottom this is a superb set of wines from Les Cretes that form essential drinking for readers who want to learn more about the wines of Valle d’Aosta.Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.
