Domaine Justin Girardin, Santenay 0,75ltr
About Domaine Justin Girardin
After the phylloxera crisis (1880-1900) and certainly after the First World War, more knowledge arose about the idea of 'terroir' and quality. The mixed farming in the Santenay area disappeared solely in favor of viticulture. Justin's grandfather, Jean, would be the pioneer and from the end of the 2nd World War he would develop his domain on the best vineyards of Santenay. Valérie and Jacques, Justin's parents, have continued the development by extending the domain with appellations in Chassagne, Pommard and Savigny-les-Beaune. Today Justin, always assisted by his parents, emphasizes a constant presence in the vineyards to stay close to nature and to ensure the optimal expression of their terroirs in an equally refined vinification. Through his professional experience in France and other countries, and through his encounters with other passionate winegrowers, he knows where to go to acquire his precision and character. His vision is simple: always thinking and revising in order to go further and further in the quest for quality wine.
Tasting Notes
A beautiful white wine from Santenay, right next to Chassagne-Montrachet, but more than half the price. A refined, juicy Burgundy Justin Giradin. Rich, complex with a creamy texture and slightly minerally, ripe yellow fruit with refined wood tones from 12 months aging in partly new barrels.
