This is also quite restrained with a similarly styled nose of cool mineral-reduction, citrus zest and dried white flower aromas. There is a wonderful sense of underlying tension to the stony, intense and beautifully well-delineated flavors that possess excellent length on the impeccably well-balanced finish. The class of a fine Caillerets is on display here. ♥ - Comments: Outstanding

The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret comes across as cool, inward and reticent. It is a gorgeous, complete wine loaded with both fruit and minerality. Accordingly, the Clos du Cailleret needs time to come together. The age of the vines and the high percentage of shot berries contribute to the richness and sheer weight of the fruit. This is a promising wine, but it needs time. The Clos du Cailleret is the last parcel harvested at the maison. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. 92+ -Antonio Galloni

Bright straw-yellow. Lemon, coconut and vanilla on the slightly exotic nose. Fat, rich and pliant on the front half, mouthfilling without coming across as heavy. Then ripe but a bit youthfully aggressive on the back, with strong lemony fruit carrying through to a long, bracing finish. This energetic wine is very young. 93+

A signature wine for Girardin, this is powerful and rich, with apricot, quince and green plum fruits that are layered within the taut texture. A toast note rounds out this complex, ageworthy wine.

About Winery

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.
