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. The "Clos Saint Jean" is a terrific value in 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet. What attracted me to this wine instantly were the pretty white flower notes on the nose. On the palate it is fine and rich in structure. It is poised and elegant, with nice minerality and a most attractive finish. Full of charm, weight and length, with characterisitc Chassagne creaminess, minerality and drive. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer)
