2022 Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard Bourgogne Chardonnay Combe d’Orange

"Light and pretty on the nose; citrus and white blossom. Moreish, fresh, straightforward but as it should be."
15.5 points - Jancis Robinson

About five centuries ago, Jean Girard began cultivating vines in Savigny-Les-Beaune. Seven generations later, Jean-Jacques Girard creates his own estate to perpetuate the family tradition. In 2008, his son Vincent joined him on the farm. Today, the family farm covers about fifteen hectares, growing excellent quality Aligoté, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir

The 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay Combe d’Orange was matured in oak barrels for 10 months. The fruit is soft with well-balanced acidity. This wine is drinking very well in its youth but will age well for the next few years.
