Pierre Girardin - Pommard 1er Cru "Grands Epenots" 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, as well as Grand Cru Montrachet. 

"The vineyards are next to Clos de Citeaux. They are managed on contract by Pierre Girardin who then buys the grapes. Bright purple colour and this does indeed express the whole bunch character, very bright. Old vines, very lovely, ripe strawberry, but still with some energy, smoother behind, with good length." Jasper Morris. 100% Pinot Noir.
