Tasting Notes

Pierre-Vincent Girardin, representing the 13th generation of his winemaking family, established his own domaine in 2017. Drawing from his father's legacy and vineyards, he has quickly garnered attention for crafting wines that express the purity and precision of their terroir.

The 'La Croix' parcel, with vines approximately 70 years old, is located on the Aloxe side of Corton-Charlemagne, adjacent to the historic cross marking the vineyard's namesake. This area is renowned for its exceptional terroir, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.

Girardin practices organic farming and employs meticulous winemaking techniques. The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in custom 456-liter barrels (100% new oak) for 12 months, followed by 8 months in stainless steel. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural expression.

This approach results in a wine that showcases the mineral-driven character of Corton-Charlemagne, with a harmonious balance of richness and tension, making it both approachable in its youth and suitable for extended aging.

Burgundy

Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.

There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.
