Bourgogne Chardonnay, Domaine Benoit Girardin, 2024

Est. delivery in 2027

"Clay soils, 10% new oak.
Lean and fruity with a light floral note. Simple, clean and gently rounded, with malolactic character evident."
Ksenia Pashkova, Club Merchandiser

All the 2024s were tasted from tank, with nothing fined or bottled at the time. Harvest ran from 7–17 September, starting with the reds and finishing with the whites. Yields were healthy for Chardonnay, more modest for Pinot Noir, and the vintage sits stylistically between 2021 and 2022 in terms of concentration.

The approach is straightforward and low-intervention. Reds are neither fined nor filtered, extraction is controlled, and the wines favour clarity and freshness over density. Even at this early stage, there’s a clear distinction between clay-driven richness and limestone-led tension across the range.
