Burghound | Rating: 95
An exceptionally ripe yet brooding and very densely fruited nose features notes of pear, white peach, acacia blossom, spice, lychee nut and soft oak scents. The big-bodied and dense middle weight plus flavors are blessed with generous amounts of palate coating dry extract that imparts a suave character to the impeccably well-balanced and hugely long mineral-driven and saline finish. This is a big Chevalier but one that remains well-balanced.Author: Allen Meadows
Styled by Vincent Girardin, these white wines display their quality in finesse, aromatic purity, and harmony between richness and vibrancy. Girardins red wines are profound and intense, balancing tannin and ripe fruit. Vincent Girardin started in 1982 with just two hectares of vineyards. After assuming responsibility for his father's vineyards and exhibiting uncanny business acumen, he turned Girardin into a flourishing Domaine (owned vineyards) and micro-negociant (purchased fruit) enterprise. The Domaine was originally based in Santenay, but in 2002 Girardin moved the operation to Meursault. This new cuverie is testimony to his dedication to skillfully melding traditional vineyard management with modern, efficient winemaking.
