2023 Pierre Girardin Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 750ml
*We offer Free Shipping over $300! (Excl. NT)
About This Wine
This Grand Cru Chardonnay comes from Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s holdings on the east and south-east slopes of Corton-Charlemagne in Aloxe-Corton. The site’s clay-limestone soils with white marl and scattered stones provide tension, minerality and precision. Whole-cluster vinification followed by élevage in 456L French oak barrels and finishing in stainless steel shapes a wine that is energetic, focused and built for extended ageing.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Gunflint, mineral notes and citrus accents from the clay-limestone soil and cool exposure.
Palate
Tense and sharp, with focused acidity and energy. Fresh, saline and mineral-driven, supported by fine oak integration. Long, tight, and structured.
Finish
Persistent, mineral and saline, carrying tension and precision.
