About this wine

"Sourced from two lieux-dits—Champs de Marjot and Le Concis des Champs—this Chassagne-Montrachet shows layered complexity. The nose is rich, with ripe apple, toasty oak, and subtle honey and vanilla hints. Freshness and minerality balance the succulent fruit, and the wine finishes long and gourmand, already showing remarkable integration and generosity." 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.
