Jean-Jacques and Agnès Girard, together with their sons Vincent and François, own a splendid domaine that covers most of the appellations of the northern Côte de Beaune. The whites are barrel fermented with an increasing proportion of larger demi-muids whilst the reds are 100% destemmed and aged for 12 months in traditional 228 litre Burgundian pièces. Careful extraction of fruit and tannin gives rich, harmonious wines that are delicious to enjoy young but which have the potential to age gracefully.
Les Fichots is a splendid premier cru that lies just a few metres from Corton-Charlemagne but has a deep clay soil that is perfect for making rich, generous red wines. A lovely, complete wine full of dark cherry fruit and fresh acidity. Drink 2026-2032.
