Pierre Vincent Girardin Beaune 1er Cru Epenotes 2022
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.
100% Chardonnay

CHARDONNAY | 2023
CASABLANCA VALLEY
BRIGHT • LUSCIOUS • SMOOTH
This Chardonnay seduces with its fresh and expressive aromas of pear , pineapple , quince, nectarine , zesty lemon and intertwined with notes of toasted oak. A vibrant purity of fruit, a beautiful texture and a good length on the palate give the wine a pleasant balance.
This vintage in Casablanca presented good conditions starting in spring, setting us up for excellent flowering and fruit set. Harvest began the last week of February, which was slightly delayed from what we had planned. However, things sped up and we had a very good ripening curve, especially at the end of the season. This year, the first varieties to be harvested were Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, having received very good temperatures from October onwards.
This Chardonnay is silky and mineral and is without a doubt an elegant and expressive wine.
Recommended Serving Temperature: 12ºC

The wines are well-balanced and full of flavour, yellow in colour with a glimmer of green and a structure that changes according to the planting. Marsanne requires a dry, hot climate with plenty of sunshine, but is robust and vigorous and can thrive in the poorest of soils. Its wines are powerful, with medium acidity. Floral aromas develop on ageing, alongside notes of hazelnuts.
