Pierre Girardin - Vosne-Romanée ‘Damaudes’ 2022
A racy and fruity 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.
A rare and exceptional lieu-dit in Vosne, just above Vosne 1er Cru Malconsorts. 300-350m altitude on clay-limestone soils. Vinified as whole cluster, 11 months in oak barrels (33% new), 4 months in steel tank. No fining nor filtration. Racy and fruity (mouth of blackcurrant) wine with velvety tannins. With ageing potential of 6 to 12 years.
100% Pinot Noir.
