PRIMAVERA 2021 - VINCENT GIRAUDON ROMAIN PAIRE

This declassified white comes from old Aligoté vines farmed organically and biodynamically. It’s rare to find the variety here: if any white is planted, it’s usually Chardonnay or Viognier. But Vincent had conviction that his soils would be perfect with Aligoté. The tiny parcel (just half a hectare) yields uncommonly delicious wine that is audacious and alive, with evocative orchard fruit aromas and a balanced body thanks to 10 months aging on the lees.
