JEAN-JACQUES GIRARD Savigny Les Beaune Blanc 2023 Bottle

Description

Amongst all appellations for white burgundy, Savigny-Lés-Beaune is often overlooked but produces some of the best examples of great value white burgundy punching well above their weight!

Jean-Jacques and Agnes’s son, Vincent, is now in charge of the wine-making and is increasingly aided by his younger brother François. This important domaine extends over nearly 20 hectares of all the best-known appellations of the Côte de Beaune.

This chalky parcel of older Chardonnay vines (30 year old) is nestled in between two 1er Cru. It is vinified in 500L barrels which results in producing a sublime white burgundy with richness and flavour intensity, a real treat! It is vinified 80% in oak and 20% in stainless steel for freshness and vitality. Drink 2025-2029.
