Pierre Vincent Girardin Beaune 1er Cru Epenotes 2022
$178.00 Original price was: $178.00.$159.00Current price is: $159.00.
This is the first wine of its kind from an appellation that has traditionally produced only 100% Pinot Noir, made possible by the planting of Chardonnay by Pierre Vincent Girardin in 2017. Crafted using indigenous yeast and fermented in 456L oak barrels, the wine remains unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural integrity. It undergoes 12 months of ageing in these same barrels, followed by 8 months on lees in closed stainless steel tanks, ensuring no exposure to oxygen. With a vine density of 13,000 vines per hectare and Guyot Poussard pruning, the vineyard is carefully managed to limit the vitality of the vines, resulting in a balanced and refined expression.

History and Terroir
Pierre-Vincent Girardin is no stranger to the great sites of Burgundy. He represents the 13th generation of his family's winemaking lineage, and today, produces wine from some of the most hallowed sites across the Côte d’Or. Although young, Pierre-Vincent’s hands-on vineyard experience exceeds many neighboring winemakers around him. Growing up amongst the vines, Pierre-Vincent’s earliest memories include running around the cellar with his father, Vincent Girardin, who sold the family domaine in 2011. However, Pierre-Vincent’s father held on to 4.5 hectares of vines from his top sites, so as to pass them on to his son. In addition to his estate-owned plots, Pierre-Vincent’s family’s long standing relationships with prestigious growers around Burgundy have allowed him access to some of the region’s top growing sites, including Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet, and beyond.
Farming and Winemaking
Pierre-Vincent officially made his first vintage in 2017 and immediately caught the industry’s attention. His vinification style is best described as pure, precise, and terroir specific. Upon harvest, grapes are pressed slowly and gently, and specially crafted barrels (456L) are used for aging, so as to ensure that new wood influences on his wines are kept to a minimum. All wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, so as to not take anything away from their innate character To say that Pierre-Vincent is a rising star is an understatement, as his talent goes far beyond his young age. His dynamism and ambition are evident with every vintage produced, and although he’s only been on the scene for a few years, we foresee a long and prosperous trajectory ahead.
