Côte De Nuits-Villages, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2021
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “ avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels ”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity. Guillaume's Côte de Nuits-Villages 2021 is designed for relatively early consumption but has the potential to develop further complexity with a few years of aging. Proper cellaring will enhance its evolution and longevity.
Pommard, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"From two parcels—Les Lambots near Volnay and En Mareau—this Pommard strikes a balance between elegance and power. The nose offers vibrant red fruit, with cherries, red currants, and a hint of warm spice. The palate is silky yet grippy, with fine tannins providing structure and excellent balance." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
