Pierre Girardin - Côte de Nuits Villages "Le Vaucrain" 2021

This Côte de Nuits Villages is tender, mineral, with plenty of energy and freshness.

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. 

This delicate wine starts with a lifted nose of wild berries, fresh cherry, sap with forest like flavours. The palate is tender, mineral, with plenty of energy and freshness. Succulent, it goes on with a lovely concentration, suggesting a wine of better pedigree than this humble Cote de Nuits Villages. From Les Vaucrains, this ideally located plot has made a stunningly well balanced Pinot Noir. Drink now by decanting for 40 minutes or cellar up to 2028+.

100% Pinot Noir.
