The 2022 Pierre Girardin Bourgogne Rouge Éclat de Calcaire is a standout regional Pinot Noir that punches far above its weight. Sourced entirely from the village of Vosne-Romanée, this wine blends fruit from three prized lieux-dits—La Croix Blanche, Lutenière, and Les Chassagnes—all with vines over 30 years old. Girardin employs 25% whole cluster fermentation with native yeasts, followed by 12 months of aging in 228L barrels (just 10% new), then an additional 3 months in stainless steel to preserve purity and lift. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it offers impressive aromatic complexity with notes of red cherry, wild raspberry, and crushed violets layered over subtle spice and a streak of cool limestone minerality. The palate is vibrant and silky, showing finesse and precision that clearly reflect its Vosne pedigree. A serious Burgundy in Bourgogne clothing.
