Description

Sourced from 2.25 hectares of 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines grown within the commune of Santenay. Hand harvested. 5 days pre-fermentation cold maceration. Natural yeasts. Prefer to use rémontage rather than pigeage for a gentler tannin extraction. 12 months maturation, 50% in oak barriques and 50% in cuve. Matured on lees. Light filtration at bottling.

About the producer

Domaine Justin Girardin is very much a family affair, with a winemaking heritage that stretches back to the beginning of the 19th century. Jacques (brother of Vincent) handed over the running of the 17ha family domaine to his son Justin in 2012. Whilst not being officially certified, Justin uses many organic techniques, as he is passionate about producing wines that express their terroir. The results are superbly perfumed, multi-layered wines.
