Burghound, July 2006

An elegant and high-toned airy nose with apparent but not intrusive oak influence dissolves into round, rich and sweet layered flavors that are surprisingly open and accessible for a young Chevalier but then the finish tightens up instantly and the expected explosion of pungent minerality arrives, almost without warning. This is a relatively powerful Chevalier, indeed it could be mistaken for a mineral-driven Montrachet.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, September 2006

($245) Pale color. Very ripe aromas of peach, nut oil and vanillin oak. Intensely mineral in the mouth, conveying a strong impression of crushed stone to go with its captivating peach and nectarine fruit flavors. A very concentrated, pure, dense wine of considerable finesse. Finishes very aromatic and long. Offers terrific aging potential. Girardin noted that there was no hydric stress here in 2004. Wonderfully fresh and stylish grand cru.

About Winery

Vincent Girardin was born in Santenay, in the Côte de Beaune and is part of a winemaking family whose origins date to the 17th century (11th generation). Now in his forties, Vincent began in 1982 with only 2 hectares (5 acres) of vines. When his father retired, Vincent took over several additional hectares to which he could devote himself.

Vincent Girardin is a man of conviction. He knows what he wants. He has grasped his profession firmly with both hands. Vincent's roots are deep in the most prestigious terroirs of Burgundy. He knows every vine, every parcel of land. He also ensures that the very highest quality is maintained by following each wine's development every step of the way, at all times respecting the most important element of Burgundy - the individuality of its terroirs.
