Pierre Girardin Beaune Premier Cru Les Grands Epenotes 2024 (750ml)

Pierre-Vincent Girardin is a 13th generation Burgundian winemaker who grew up among the vines in his father’s Domaine. Starting his own label with the family holdings of Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet at the age of 21, he has become a formidable force among young winemakers in Burgundy. Expanding beyond the 4.5 hectares, his family contacts brought him access to top growers in Puligny Folatières, Volnay Clos des Chênes, Pommard Epenots, Corton-Charlemagne. 

From a 1.1 ha parcel on the Pommard border. Very chalky site on the Beune side, just 7 metres away from Pommard 1er cru les Epenots. Set on clay and limestone soil, it has very good drainage with south-east exposure.  Vinified as 100% whole cluster with 9 months in oak barrels (40% new), 3 months in steel tank. The Beaune is fresh on the nose with citrus notes. A vivid attack with long length and a pleasant minerality. This can be aged for 8 to 12 years.
