Vincent Girardin Pouilly-Fuisse Vieilles Vignes 2022
Old vines and limestone soils give this Pouilly-FuissĂ© its depth and precision. Girardin captures the richness of the 2022 vintage without losing the regionâs trademark freshness. Itâs poised, elegant and unmistakably Burgundian â Chardonnay with real clarity and finesse.
Taste
Winemakers tasting note:Â A delicate and distinguished wine, green-gold in colour. The local soils favour harmonious development of the Chardonnay aromas with notes of hazelnut, toasted almond and mineral notes.
About the Producer
In May 2012, Vincent Girardin sold his business to Jean-Pierre NiĂ©, the owner of Compagnie des Vins dâAutrefois in Beaune. Jean-Pierre, very sensibly, took the decision not only to retain Eric Germain (head winemaker) and Marco Caschera (sales and exports) but to make them substantial shareholders in the business.
As far as we are concerned, nothing has changed. They continue to work with the highest quality raw materials and Eric Germain continues to make the wines, as he has done for over fifteen years. Indeed, now that Eric is entirely free from other constraints, we have noticed the winesâ gain in precision over the last few vintages! There is no bĂątonnage and extended maturation in barrel, giving the white wines greater tension, elegance, energy and purity.
