Burghound, July 2007

A generously oaked nose features wood spice, vanilla and ripe green fruit aromas though the oak is more moderate on the palate as the big and sleekly muscled flavors possess ample dry extract to soak up most of the wood. There is good if not outstanding precision and detail, which keeps it from being at the next level. In sum, an excellent but not truly outstanding example.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, September 2007

($119) Pale, green-tinged color. Apple and spice on the nose; at once more exotic and more austere than the '06. Ripe, supple and densely packed, with a piquant spice character to the apple and stone flavors. Finishes with subtly spicy dusty length and lingering sweetness.

Wine Spectator, June 2008

Rich, yet also bright and restrained, showing apple, yellow plum, lime, mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors. It has a linear profile, with intensity and terrific length. Best from 2010 through 2025. 400 cases imported. –BS

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.
