Wine Description:
These Chardonnay vines for this wine originate from Aloxe-Corton in the northern Côte de Beaune, flourishing in hard limestone and marl soil with a South-East exposure. Pruned using the Guyot method, various seasonal vineyard techniques are employed, such as pruning and trellising on wires, as well as fruit-thinning. Harvested manually and sorted, the grapes undergo a gentle pneumatic press to ensure slow extraction. The resulting must is racked, and the wine ferments both alcoholically and malolactically in 228-liter French oak casks (30% new oak) using wild yeasts over 18 months, followed by aging on fine lees. Blending occurs in a stainless steel tank a month before bottling, and the wine is gently fined and filtered before bottling on a "root" day, following the lunar calendar.
Pros:
  • This wine has a complex flavor profile with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, and minerals

Cons:

Wine Expert Note:

This white wine from Vincent Girardin is a stunning example of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet of fresh citrus, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate, the mineral-driven acidity is balanced by a creamy texture and notes of white peach and pear. The finish is long and lingering with a hint of spice and lingering minerality. Overall, this is an elegant and well-crafted Grand Cru that will reward with time in the cellar.

Gaston Chiquet has earned a stellar reputation, a notable achievement in a region crowded with numerous small producers. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of owners Antoine and Nicolas Chiquet. Located in the charmingly named Dizy, the family's history with vines dates back to 1746, but it wasn't until 1935 that brothers Ferdinand and Gaston Chiquet ventured into Champagne production under their own label instead of solely supplying grapes to larger houses. With vineyards in prestigious villages like Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay, and Hautvillers, they currently craft 15,000 cases annually, featuring a blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
