Pierre Girardin - Vosne-Romanée ‘Champs Perdrix’ 2022

A silky and elegant Vosne-Romanee.

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 plots in the village of Vosne-Romanée above “la Tâche”. The vines are planted on limestone soil with lots of small stones between the rows. Vinified as whole cluster, 10 months in oak barrels (2/3 new), 2 months in steel tank. No fining nor filtration. Nose full of flower perfume: rose and peony. Crispy and soft tannins with vivid red fruit aromas of raspberry and red currant. Drink now by decanting or age for 10 to 15 years.
