2019 Pierre Girardin Vosne-Romanée Beaux Monts

Son of famed Burgundy vigneron Vincent Girardin, Pierre Girardin made a splash in Burgundy and oenophile circles with the release of his inaugural wines from the 2017 vintage. The Pierre Girardin wines hail from estate vineyards in Burgundy as well as from grapes procured from a selection of famed terroirs including Le Montrachet and Clos Vougeot, as well as small lots of Corton-Charlemagne, Corton, Batard Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and others. Pierre is the 13th generation to produce wine and has impressed collectors and reviewers alike with his deft winemaking touch at such a young age. Buy Pierre Girardin wine on WineBid today!

Les Beaux Monts is a 28.6-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is on the northern edge of the appellation, bordering Flagey-Echezeaux. The vineyard has a southern exposure, and the soil is part clay and marl. It is one of the largest of Vosne-Romanee’s Premier Crus. Clive Coates calls Les Beaux Monts “a nice big wine, but nonetheless perfumed, full of finesse, even lush.”

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
