Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard Pernand-Vergelesses Les Belles Filles 2024

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant but best to open it half an hour before service. Located in Savigny-les-Beaune, in the Cote d'Or, Burgundy, Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard is a family-run winery with a long tradition that spans over 5 centuries. Today, the estate, which extends for about 15 hectares of vineyards, is in the hands of Jean-Jacques Girard, who runs it with the help of his wife Agns and their son Vincent. The company, which practices sustainable agriculture, produces high-quality wines from 22 appellations that include several Premiers and Grands Crus. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from vineyards located in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses. After vinification, the finished wine rests in oak barrels for 10 months before bottling. Pernand-Vergelesses Les Belles Filles shows a bright straw yellow color. On the nose, it reveals a delicate aromatic profile with a fresh bouquet made of white flowers and juicy apples, followed by some mineral notes. On the palate, it is soft and elegant with a good concentration of fruit and a well-balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent. This wine is an excellent choice for a classy aperitif and it makes a great match with seafood or pan-fried veal sweetbreads.
