Pierre Girardin - Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru ‘Les Suchots’ 2022

The Vosne-Romanee Suchots is rich in colour and flavour of the region.

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.

From vines in Vosne Romanée between Richebourg and Echezeaux, at the top of Suchots (Les Grands Suchots) on clay-limestone soil. Vinified as whole cluster, 11 months in oak barrels (100% new), 3 months in steel tank. No fining nor filtration. Great aromatic finesse with hints of dried flowers (dried rose petals), elegant and silky mouth endowed with a thirst-quenching freshness. Decant or allow to age for 10 to 20 years.

100% Pinot Noir.
