Tasting note
Pierre Girardin was fortunate enough to purchase 3 ouvrees of Bâtard-Montrachet in late 2017, a plot with 85 year old vines. Rich yellow and very weighty. Spectacular! This is the vineyard that encouraged Pierre to go higher in canopy. A fabulous mix of complex yellow fruit, a little bit of orange blossom, but a greener thread too, showing that this has not gone through too far in ripeness. Very complete and lasts extremely well in the mouth. Tasted Oct 2020 by Jasper Morris MW.

Tasting note
The 2002 Brut La Grande Annee is marvelous. The 2002 is an understated Grande Annee that caresses the palate with layers of effortless, weightless fruit. The mousse is exceptionally fine, which adds to the impression of total elegance. This is a relatively bright, floral Grande Annee with plenty of aromatic lift, inner perfume and no sense of heaviness at all. A rich, creamy finish adds the final note of complexity and pedigree. The 2002 is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, 71% from Grand Cru villages and 29% from Premier Crus. Disgorged February 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

Tasting note
The cool, late season produced a classical, pure style. In the glass, it shows red cherry and cranberry, rose and savory spice, with an iron-tinged, earthy-mineral finish that is distinctly Pommard. Deep, refined and tangy, with fine tannins. Great juice that will keep evolving.

Buttery, creamy, very soft and smooth. Ripe, complete and generous and perhaps quite high in alcohol? Even so, there is so much going on here. Compelling. Richard Hemming MW

This old-vine Savagnin from Jura limestone and marl develops deep oxidative richness while retaining surprising freshness. Roasted nuts, almond, dried apricot, citrus peel, hazelnut and ginger unfold across a dense, textured palate. Bright acidity cuts through the weight, giving a long, layered finish that feels both powerful and precise.

Tasting note
Glass-staining violet. Displays expansive, highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, with exotic spice, violet oil, smoky mineral and incense notes building in the glass. Densely packed yet almost shockingly energetic on the palate, offering penetrating black and blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille, allspice and olive paste flavors with a hint of cracked pepper. The floral note carries emphatically through a wonderfully long, sharply detailed finish that's framed by youthfully gripping, polished tannins.
