Description

"Delicious nutty character on top of toasty oak, butter, stewed apple fruit and a distinct flint and slate character. Classic burgundy at a fair price in comparison with so many of its stablemates these days." 17 points. Richard Hemming, Jancisrobinson.com.

Justin Girardin

The Girardin family have worked the land in Burgundy for a long time but only moved to specialise in winemaking at the end of WW2. Over generations acquiring parcels on the best terroirs of Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard and Savigny-les-Beaune. The estate continues to grow and today covers the best terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. Justin took over the estate in 2017. He puts his know-how at the service of the vines to make the best wine every year.

Burgundy

Burgundy, located in eastern France, is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is divided into five main wine-producing areas: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Burgundy’s complex terroir, characterised by diverse soils, microclimates, and slope orientations, plays a critical role in the distinctive characteristics of its wines. The region's classification system includes Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and Regional appellations, reflecting the hierarchy of quality and location. Burgundy’s vineyards, many with centuries-old histories, produce wines that are revered for their elegance, depth, and expression of terroir. Key towns include Beaune, the region’s wine capital, and Dijon, known for its historical ties to the Dukes of Burgundy. Burgundy’s rich winemaking heritage, combined with its diverse range of wines, makes it a top destination for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
