FEATURES
The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was marked by historic precocity, with budburst and harvest (entirely in August) occurring three weeks earlier than usual. Despite high temperatures and a lack of precipitation, the grapes maintained very satisfactory health, leading to wonderful balances in the wines. Pierre Girardin, a rising star in Burgundy, has garnered significant attention for his meticulous approach in the vineyard and cellar, with his 2020 white wines, including this Puligny-Montrachet, being particularly praised for their freshness and minerality despite the warm vintage. The wine showcases a lovely pale golden hue, reflecting its vibrant character. 【Exceptional balance and freshness in a warm vintage】.
Tasting Notes: This Puligny-Montrachet offers noble and distinguished aromas of citrus, white flowers, honeysuckle, acacia, jasmine, and a beautiful minerality, with hints of grilled almonds and toasted scents. The palate is elegant, tonic, and medium-bodied, with bright acidity, prominent stone fruit and citrus intensity, and a long, fresh finish with light vanilla nuances.
Food Pairing: This bone-dry and food-friendly white Burgundy is ideal with pan-fried foie gras, creamy fish dishes, cooked white meats like chicken in cream sauce, smoked salmon, shellfish, and veal sweetbreads.
Event Suggestions: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory lunch, or as an impressive gift for a Chardonnay enthusiast. It can be appreciated now or aged for 7 to 9 years.
