2022 Vincent Girardin Cuvee Saint Vincent Bourgogne Blanc

The 2022 Vincent Girardin Cuvee Saint-Vincent Bourgogne Blanc is an outstanding introduction to the style of one of Burgundy’s most respected producers. Sourced from Chardonnay vineyards across the Côte de Beaune, including parcels near Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, the wine greatly overdelivers for its classification. Mature vines, careful barrel ageing and Girardin’s meticulous winemaking create a Bourgogne Blanc with remarkable depth, freshness and finesse.

The nose reveals white peach, pear and citrus blossom alongside notes of toasted almond and subtle minerality. The palate is fresh and beautifully textured, combining ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and a chalky limestone backbone. Hints of lemon curd, hazelnut and gentle oak spice add complexity, while the finish is clean, elegant and distinctly Burgundian.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb value white Burgundy that drinks well above its level. Fresh, mineral and highly versatile, it pairs beautifully with seafood, roast chicken, soft cheeses and creamy pasta dishes. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its vibrant fruit and elegant Chardonnay character are at their peak.
