Pierre Vincent Girardin Beaune 1er cru Grandes Epenotes blanc 2022

Pierre Vincent Girardin Beaune 1er Cru Grandes Épenotes Blanc 2022
A singular white interpretation from the limestone-rich heart of Grandes Épenotes. Citrus blossom and pear meet chalk and almond, carried by lively acidity and discreet lees creaminess. Characterful and rare, and sure to disappear quickly.

The Domaine
Pierre Vincent Girardin is Burgundy’s 13th-generation prodigy who founded his own label in his early twenties. A gifted technician with a steel-nerved, uncompromising philosophy, he chases purity and precision above all else. Whites are shaped by slow, minimalist handling and large-format oak, reds by perfume-first extractions and fine-grained tannin management. Micro-parcels and meticulous selections keep volumes tiny and demand intense.
