Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Les Peuillets Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Testing out some lower level 18’s as I think it’s time. Big, expressive nose of a warm vintage with soppy black and red cherries. Huge fruit. Some tweed jacket and a hint of mineral. Serious baby fat nose. Palate is classic 18. Massive and concentrated with a serious mineral spine but not overripe at all like 2009 or 2003. Terrific length and sap. Really long and winding. Awesome stuff.

Jan 20th, 2023Dark color for a Girard and a very deep and serious nose. Extremely high toned. Mixed bright mid season rainer cherries with ultra ripe morellos as well. Beautiful deep wet earth notes. Layered and very deep. Really gets deep into the nasal cavity. Just ethereal. Palate is ripe, elegant and super juicy, with terrific fruit. Gorgeous mid to late season cherries. Bright and juicy. Amazing balance and freshness. Complex and ripe. Just terrific
