Pierre Girardin Clos Vougeot 2021

At just 21 when he founded his own label, Pierre-Vincent Girardin—son of famed Meursault producer Vincent Girardin—has quickly become one of Burgundy’s most exciting young talents. His 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from the upper portion of the historic walled vineyard, where the limestone-rich soils lend structure and elegance.

The wine opens with aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, and subtle mint, underpinned by refined oak and spice. On the palate, it’s powerful yet poised, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity that give it both drive and aging potential. A confident, modern interpretation of a storied terroir, this Grand Cru balances youthful energy with the depth expected of Clos de Vougeot.
