The 2020 Domaine Vincent Girardin Pernand-Vergelesses, sourced from 50+-year-old vines, is a late-release blockbuster that delivers exceptional quality and is like drinking mini Corton-Charlemagne. Vincent Girardin, founded in 1980, emphasizes organic and biodynamic viticulture with minimal intervention, ensuring terroir-driven wines. The warm 2020 vintage, one of the best-selling white Burgundy vintages, resulted in ripe, concentrated fruit beautifully balanced by the cooler climate of Pernand-Vergelesses. Aromatics include lilacs, orchard blossoms, stone fruits, flint, liquid minerals, and sage, while the palate is refined and pure, showcasing dry extract, yellow fruits, vibrant acidity, and a long-lasting finish. Crafted with precision, the wine is vinified in stainless steel and aged in French oak with minimal new oak influence, enhancing its elegance. This wine drinks far above its price point and is highly recommended, though availability is limited.
