Pierre Girardin - Bâtard-Montrachet 2021

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. 

"Pierre Girardin was fortunate enough to purchase 3 ouvrees of Bâtard-Montrachet in late 2017, a plot with 85 year old vines. Rich yellow and very weighty. Spectacular! This is the vineyard that encouraged Pierre to go higher in canopy. A fabulous mix of complex yellow fruit, a little bit of orange blossom, but a greener thread too, showing that this has not gone through too far in ripeness. Very complete and lasts extremely well in the mouth." - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.  100% Chardonnay.
