BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY
Justin Girardin’s Bourgogne Chardonnay is a blend of sites throughout the Côte de Beaune and Chablis. Hay and white flower aromas, leading into a palate of white peach and pear fruit, with a nice phenolic crunch to the finish. Vinified half in old oak and half in stainless steel tank, with 11 months’ ageing. This will hit the ground running.

SANTENAY 1ER CRU BEAUREGARD
Beauregard, with its distinctive windmill, is the highest of the domaine’s Santenay holdings, around 50 metres above the others. The vines are 30-70 years old. Poor soils, yet this tends to be the most approachable in youth. Violet and pure dark cherry aromas. The palate is supple and pliant, with cushioned berry fruit and crystalline fruit ripeness, framed by substantial tannins which will meld nicely over the coming years. 22% new oak. This will be bottled in late winter/early spring.

SANTENAY 1ER CRU MALADIÈRE
The name Maladière comes from the nearby Maladière of Chagny hospital. This is a sunny, warm, southeast-facing vineyard, with deeper soils, in the centre of the appellation. Justin has 0.7 hectares here and the vines average 60 years old. Dark fruited, with a strident, powerful aspect, framed by fine grippy tannins. Briny and tapering on the finish. 25% new oak. This will be bottled in late winter/early spring. Lovely wine.

SANTENAY 1ER CRU CLOS ROUSSEAU
Clos Rousseau has deep, heavy clay soils. Justin’s vines here have correspondingly deep root networks, allowing them to retain more water and conferring an age-worthiness on the resulting wines. The domaine has almost one hectare here, over four parcels, the youngest of which was planted in 2015, the others being 45, 60 and 65 years old. A redder fruit character with tangerine rind and orange blossom. The palate is finely detailed, with compact tannins. 22% new oak.

POMMARD LES VIGNOTS
Considered to be one of the best village-level vineyards in Pommard, the domaine’s Pommard Les Vignots is now made from just the two best plots. The domaine has around half a hectare in total. This is the highest elevation site of the estate. The average vine age is 35-40 years. Intense blackberry aromas, leading into a palate of sweet berry fruit and firm tannins, sustained by a fresh acid backbone. 25% new oak. Nicely managed, with good ageing potential.
