In 2003, Yves Girardin, a 10th generation grower in Santenay (and brother of Vincent Girardin) acquired this property and built a new winemaking facility. More recently, after completing technical training, Yves’s son Benoit has joined him, bringing to 11 the consecutive generations of the family to grow wine in Santenay. Working in their new cellars, they have really improved quality a tremendous amount in the last few years, and we are excited to import their wines direct. "Vermots Dessus" comes is a site on the slopes just above the village of Savigny, enroute to Bouilland. It is a vineyard with terrific potential for minerality, since it has the cooler air descending from the Rhoin Valley, as well as shallower topsoils. The 2010 is charming and elegant, with bright minerality and a fascinating white pepper note that is most attractive, as well as pretty floral, citrus and lemon notes on the nose. It offers lots of interest and complexity, with a long, elegant finish. The combination of white flowers and minerality is both refreshing and intriguing. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer)
