Santenay Premier Cru Rouge, Les Gravieres, Vincent Girardin 2021
Having started with a tiny 3ha back in the 80s, Vincent Girardin now owns 14ha of enviably sited parcels, with another 19ha on lease, and this is practically the first in-house vintage for the Domaine. Head winemaker Eric Germain's steady conversion to biodynamics, earlier picking, reduced usage of new oak and earlier racking into neutral barrels all mean the focus is on terroir expression & energy, and the results are nothing short of profound. The wines are lithe and vibrant, with marked freshness, yet extra richness and concentration. Perfect example of what can be achieved in these satellite villages. Very smooth, silky red with purity and elegance. Oodles of red fruit with impressive concentration and purity that has herbal notes and sweet spice emerging on the finish. There is depth and charm wrapped in a warm generous mouthfeel. Nick Daniell, Club Wine Buyer
Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru 'Aux Vergelesses', Jane Eyre 2020
Whether crafting wines from the Côte-d'Or, Beaujolais, or her native Victoria, Jane's wines exude her distinct style—delicate and inviting, adorned with supple tannins and vibrant, luscious fruits. Through gentle extraction techniques, thoughtful oak usage, and early bottling, Jane has created Burgundies that are accessible and appealing even in their early stages.
