Vincent Girardin
Over ten generations of Girardins originated in Santenay until 1982 when Jean Girardin split up the vineyards between his four children. His son, Vincent, bought more vineyards and began a negociant business moving to Meursault. There is an emphasis on purity of fruit with minimal oak in both the reds and whites. Approachable when young, the Grand Cru have the potential for cellaring.

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a reserved bouquet with crushed stone, white flowers and a touch of white linen, hints of silex emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, just a small reduction, a touch of struck match on the finish with a hint of custard creams in the background. Good persistence, this is a delicious Bâtard-Montrachet in the making. Three barrels produced. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more expressive on the nose than the Bienvenue with more terroir expression and complexity. The palate is also more agreeable: better balance and more finesse, quite pretty with a harmonious and persistent finish. This is very promising. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)2.5 barrels made, mostly from the Chassagne side. Fair depth of yellow with real concentration but maybe stops a little shorter. Digs deep with some pear notes, a slight crystalline reduction at the finish. More depth than the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, but perhaps less flair. Drink from 2027-2035. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru comes from purchased grapes with 30% whole bunch. This has a classy bouquet with mineral-driven black fruit, hints of graphite and tobacco emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, good grip towards the finish where it just misses a little delineation and finesse. But it should repay cellaring. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive nose with white peach, crushed stone and orange blossom scents, just a hint of white chocolate in the background. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, fine acidity although the finish does not quite deliver the same complexity as some of Girardin’s top performing Premier Crus. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)From all three sides of the hill and another plot by the cross called “Quintessence”, which was not possible to make separately in 2021. One third came in grapes from Pernand, the rest sourced as must from Aloxe and Ladoix. Bright mid yellow. An interesting complex nose, huge stony intensity in the middle, impressive for this vintage in this appellation, a lick of vanilla behind, with very good length. Needs plenty more elevage. Drink from 2027-2035. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises two barrels of purchased must this year. "There was incredible ripeness here, up to 15° final alcohol," Eric Suremain forewarned me. I have to say that this comes across on the powerful nose, which does not quite articulate the nuance of this legendary vineyard as a cooler vintage might. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity that maintains freshness. A heady and opulent Montrachet – for want of a better word, quite "fun" to drink – but is it a vrai Montrachet? This is not the only address in the Côte d'Or where I preferred the Bâtard-Montrachet. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru which comes from purchased must that is fermented and raised at Girardin. It has a vivid bouquet with yellow plums, orange pith, Satsuma and a touch of linden. The palate is well balanced with a powerful entry, fine acidity although I feel that this does not quite match the complexity of the Montrachets that I tasted elsewhere on the finish. It is a fine Montrachet for sure, but it just needs more of the X-factor (or M-factor?) |

Vinous (88-90)The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne "Quintessence" Grand Cru comes from the Aloxe-Corton side, from a climat, and is made with purchased grapes from vines around 55–60 years old. The rather muted nose has trouble following on from the clearly more expressive Puligny Les Combettes. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity, but the truth is that I find this missing the complexity and mineralité of a Grand Cru, surpassed by some of Girardin’s excellent Premier Crus this vintage. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne "Quintessence" Grand Cru comes from a single parcel in Aloxe-Corton. This has more complexity and energy on the nose compared to the regular cuvée with fresh pineapple, grapefruit, crushed stone and a touch of mirabelle. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and quite refined, not powerful on the finish but linear and poised. Eight barrels produced. |
