Pierre Girardin - Corton-Charlemagne 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. 

"Purchased grapes from the Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton sectors, the latter on the white marl. Pale lemon colour. This has all the mineral stony tension one could hope for, none of the banana opulence, fills out the middle palate very well, with an excellent intensity of fruit at the finish. Excellent and classic aftertaste." Jasper Morris. 100% Chardonnay.
