Grape: ChardonnayVintage: 2021Type: White This dry white Burgundy wine is a pure varietal bottling of Chardonnay produced by rising star Pierre Girardin. The fruit is hand-harveste d from rows rooted in high-density limestone soils that naturally lock in high structural acidity. Winemaking follows strict low-intervention protocols, featuring a gentle pressing and a completely spontaneous fermentation driven by native wild yeasts in large custom casks. The wine matures on its fine lees without heavy wood manipulation to safeguard site-specific clarity. It pours a bright straw-yellow color, releasing clean aromatics of green apple, fresh lime, and white orchard flowers. On the palate, a sleek, medium-bodied frame balances crisp fruit flavors with a chiseled, flinty mineral core. A lively wave of natural acidity cuts right through the slightly waxy mouthfeel, maintaining excellent structural tension. Subtle layers of marine salinity add a savory depth across the textured center without dominant wood spices. It finishes bone-dry. Show more
