2023 Pierre Girardin Les Grandes Epenotes Blanc 750ml

About This Wine

Beaune 1er Cru Grandes Epenottes Blanc 2023 is sourced from a 1.1-hectare parcel on the Pommard border.

Very chalky on the Beaune side, the vineyard is located just 7 metres from Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots.

Set on clay and limestone soils with south-east exposure, the site benefits from very good drainage.

The Beaune is fresh on the nose with citrus notes. A vivid attack with long length and a pleasant minerality.

This wine can be aged for 8 to 12 years.

About the Producer

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.

From a 1.1 ha parcel on the Pommard border. Very chalky site on the Beaune side. The Pommard section of the vineyard has more clay.
