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 (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?) |
