The 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet from Vincent Girardin is a profound and beautifully sculpted wine, capturing the vintage’s superb balance through crystalline precision and refined power. The bouquet opens with layered aromas of white peach, lemon curd, citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut, and crushed oyster shell, framed by subtle spice and wet limestone. On the palate, the wine is simultaneously silky and tensile—its elegant richness carried by a vibrant line of acidity and an unmistakable chalk-infused mineral core. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, delicate florals, and fine oak tones unfold in perfect harmony, building into a long, resonant finish of purity, tension, and quiet authority. Still youthful but already deeply expressive, the 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet stands as a masterful example of Girardin’s precision and one of the most compelling expressions of this legendary Grand Cru.

Domaine Vincent Girardin is one of Burgundy’s most respected modern producers, renowned for crafting white wines of purity, finesse, and finely etched minerality. Rooted in Meursault but working across many of the Côte de Beaune’s greatest terroirs, the domaine emphasizes meticulous vineyard care, sustainable practices, and a philosophy centered on precision rather than excess. In the cellar, Girardin favors gentle pressing, native-yeast fermentations, and a restrained, carefully calibrated use of oak—techniques that highlight clarity, tension, and terroir expression. Among the estate’s crown jewels is Chevalier-Montrachet, a high-slope Grand Cru with thin, stony soils and constant breezes that naturally yield fruit of exceptional lift, structure, and depth. Under Girardin’s attentive hand, the wines from this site achieve an elegant equilibrium of richness and minerality, making them some of the most admired whites in Burgundy.
