The 2002 Vincent Girardin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 750ml is a stunning expression of Burgundy’s finest terroir. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir offers an elegant and complex bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and dark plums, layered with earthy notes of truffle, forest floor, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, showcasing silky tannins and vibrant acidity, with flavors of ripe red fruit, cranberry, and a touch of minerality. Hints of vanilla, clove, and delicate oak emerge as the wine evolves in the glass. The finish is long, graceful, and nuanced, leaving a lasting impression of bright fruit and savory complexity.

Producer Information

Vincent Girardin is a highly regarded Burgundy domaine based in Meursault. It makes a wide range of wines from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay although the latter predominates. Most holdings span the Côte de Beaune, from grand cru sites such as Le Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne, through premiers crus in Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Santenay, all the way down to vineyards at village-level and regional appellations. The domaine has around 22 hectares (54 acres) of owned vineyards and also acts as a négoce, buying in fruit from growers who can adhere to a certain code of practice, which includes things like using higher trellising for better photosynthesis and avoiding the use of herbicides and insecticides. In the winery, the grapes undergo fermentations using indigenous yeasts, followed by long maturation on the fine lees. Vincent Girarden does not use a high proportion of new oak to mature its wines. The winery processes are aligned to lunar phases and the estate vineyards are biodynamic. The domaine began in 1982 when 18 year-old Vincent Girardin, the son of a long-standing family of Santenay winemakers, made his first wines from two hectares (five acres) of vineyard inherited from his parents. As demand began to take off, he developed supply relationships with growers who shared his approach – a practice which was new to Burgundy. Vincent Girardin sold the business in 2012 but Eric Germain, winemaker since the early 2000s, remained to ensure continuity. Vincent did not sell all the holdings, however, and a number of plots were held and passed on to Vincent’s son, Pierre, who has since established Pierre Girardin.
