From one of Burgundy's finest estates.
Tasting Notes
Fruit from 30 year old vines gives the wine impressive weight and concentration. Rich and intense with attractive peachy fruit and a long, persistent citrus backbone.
Producer
Following the construction of a new winery, the whites are now fermented and aged in separate cellars which has temperature control to allow for greater precision in the vinification and élevage.
The wine undergoes a cool fermentation and ages for just under a year in 225-litre oak barrels, of which 25% are new, incorporating a small proportion of new oak.
Oak Ageing:- Duration: 6 Month - Barrel Size: 225 Litres- Percentage of Wine Oaked: 100%- Percentage of New Oak: 25%
Producer
Around five centuries ago, Jean Girard began cultivating vines in Savigny-Les-Beaune. Seven generations later, Jean-Jacques Girard created his own estate to carry on the family tradition. In 2008, his son Vincent joined him on the farm.
Today, the family farm covers some 15 hectares. It produces around 100,000 bottles a year. Its agriculture is based on a deep respect for the terroir and the environment. To make these wines, she combines traditional know-how with new technologies.
