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 (92-94)The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Le Champ Gain 1er Cru has a pleasant nose with citrus fruit, white chocolate, grapefruit and a touch of walnut. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, focused and vibrant with plenty of tension and mineralité on the finish. Very fine. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru comes from 0.80 hectares of vines up to 45 years old, located close to the woods. Unlike the other two Puligny Premier Crus, it comes from Girardin’s own vines. This has a more clinical bouquet of fine delineation and terroir expression, featuring crushed limestone, cooking apple and a light sea spray note. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and quite saline in the mouth, getting the saliva flowing. Good concentration on the finish. This is an excellent Puligny that should age with style. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)5 Star Wine. The famous plot in 2021 because of the success in protecting the vines from frost when all around failed. The recipe was to light the bougies early and place them at double density, and replace if necessary during the night. This is really gorgeous. With a manged opulence, a perfect thread of mineral backbone, a finish that makes one salivate. A level of concentration over and above Perrières. Consider a 5th star – and say yes! Drink from 2026-2033. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)From Ez Folatières, purchased as must. A lime streak runs through the mid yellow colour. This has notable density of bouquet without showing much detail yet. More substantial than the racy Pucelles, but retaining its own lively character behind the substantial flesh. Dense, generous, and with class. Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted: November 2023. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru comes from bought must, the vines managed virtually organically except for one treatment during the growing season. This has a tightly wound, rather laconic bouquet that, despite coaxing, remains stubbornly mute. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh on the entry yet not quite achieving the same tension and nuance as the Puligny Champ Gain tasted alongside. |
