Pierre Vincent Girardin Corton-Charlemagne La Croix Grand Cru 2022
Statuesque Corton-Charlemagne where mountain-stream clarity meets crest-of-the-hill power. Flint, white citrus and cool mint glide over a chiselled core, expanding into a long, saline close. Grand white Burgundy built for decades, available only in tiny amounts.

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.
